And now it is (helping) ruining the housing market for us normal folk, with all these “entrepreneurs” buying up houses to list for high short stay rents on airbnb.
Correct! The reason it could be banned is because it is acceptable to ban under the neoliberal order. Notice how they haven’t banned rent even though that permanently solves the problem.
E: I’d rate interaction with the “buttnugget” LLM at 1 of 5 stars, the model is a dumbass that can only parrot very weak talking points in a meekly aggressive tone. When presented with evidence, this shit-box LLM can only respond with “lmfao” and terminate the interaction.
If it were a living being I’d tell them their mother is ashamed of them for lack of critical thinking skills, but considering that it’s just a weak model, I’ll say that its programmer is a clownass who was rejected round one in hiring for obvious reasons.
I’d be happy to be wrong but since supply and demand aren’t really impactful on market rate housing, it probably doesn’t do much except piss off morons.
In large cities there are entire apartment buildings that have been converted to illegal hotels on Air BNB. It’s a huge problem, not the entire problem, but a damn big one.
Yep! And those hosts bend over backwards. Like here’s a spare room, here’s some local chocolates from our town chocolatier. I made these jerkies. You’re invited to our 8pm fireplace time and have s’mores.
It was a real community. They still exist. But they’re overshadowed by shitty Airbnbs that want you to clean the gutters and mop the floors now for twice the price of a hotel.
I’m something of a jerkonnoisseur myself, and I have never considered the plural form of Jerky. This is like experiencing semantic satiation for the first time.
It used to be the cheaper option compared to hotels. Because it used to be people renting out a spare room.

I would be shocked if it had any appreciable impact at all, but it certainly isn’t helping.
There’s a reason it is banned or considered being banned in some cities around the world.

You’re wrong, sadly.

You’re right on a micro level, but on macro scale, it’s absolutely making an impact.
I’d love to see some evidence of that since I’ve only ever seen reactionary YIMBY lies about it.
Here you go, silly:
Lmfao

I go to a lot of estate sales. A subset of the customers are people who have Airbnbs and are there for furniture and decorations.
Supply and demand are not really issues with housing, so again, it’s probably not an appreciable impact. Don’t believe the YIMBY lies.

Reading the plural form of “jerky” makes me feel oddly uneasy.
Is that just like… several pieces of beef jerky or deer jerky?
Mass nouns and their use is one of the most difficult features in the English language for English as a second language learners.
People do this with the word “code” all the time, and I have a strong urge to correct it. But I usually don’t.
