There is an AirBnB out in Missouri my friends & I book semi-annually that is great as it's near the range we go to for KalashniCon.

It would suck if they go away.


On the other hand, maybe some houses here in Portland will actually sell.

COVID helped Airbnb I think because after the initial shutdown, you had tons of city dwellers trying to book a vacation that didn't involve going into a hotel, and booking in scenic places. In the tweet thread he goes into how some small towns in Tennessee and Montana have been absolutely flooded with Airbnbs and killing the local real estate market.

Weird, I remember a bunch of stories about how lockdowns caused a bunch of people to have to sell their airbnbs

Yeah, my sister and her husband bought one in Palm Springs during the initial huge sell off and have been renting it out pretty consistently since then

Now you're just some QB that I used to know
I think at first with lockdowns there were a ton of cancellations and such, but after the initial wave people were saying gently caress it and going anyway and rebooking.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

I think there is room in the market for short-term rentals, just like I think there is some room in the market for long term rentals so we should leave a few of the most empathetic landlords alive. The fact that it was basically unregulated and the worst people you know saw it as a way to make a quick buck was what caused everything to get so hosed up so quickly.

Depending on which stats you look at, 20-30% of Airbnb's are corporate owned - and this number skews much higher in large markets. Make those go away and you'd have a much healthier market. The guy renting his basement level isn't ruining your neighborhood affordability.

Don't worry, if AirBnB goes away then massive real estate companies will snatch them up by offering far more than normal people can afford and we're back where we started

Yup. They need to implement an aggressive progressive tax that increases with every additional property owned by the holding company. Those taxes go towards affordable housing built by third party contractors

Rich rear end in a top hat who owns 3 Airbnbs is a corporation.

Much like the evergreen, cynical, political appeal to the Mom and Pop small business, every corporate shill we've elected to government just wants to protect that empty nester who just needs a little more income.

Meanwhile, amorphous, anonymous software has laundered legal and ethical liabilities so thoroughly that price fixing is just a reality in both the national real estate and rental markets.

The individual numbers have to add up to 25. So if you used 25, that’s only 7. I put in 55555 and it worked
