Can they visit my neighbor's airbnb?
The shamelessness of these companies … they treat their customers and investors just the same. Nothing matters, there's no objective but quick money.
Yeah - you really do not want to be a customer or an investor with a company doing these stunts.
Id say destroying airbnbs is actually an act of heroism
nuance alert: people who have dual citizenship and can afford their second home by renting it while theyre away don't deserve to have their shit wrecked by tech bros. landlords hoarding housing do.
idk i don't mean to 'uhm acktually ☝️' i just know some very kind people who host and dont abuse the system.
LOL
Yes they do deserve it.
People shouldn't have second homes. This fucks over everyone trying to buy their first home.
Everyone agrees landlord's are shit, airbnb's are worse.
Unadulterated crabs-in-a bucket thinking
I see nothing wrong with someone having two homes. What is an issue is some hedge fund owning 5,000 homes or the rapidly approaching trillionaire individuals. These are the people eating up all our resources. Maligning someone who is just barely above the rest of the population in terms of wealth just divides what should be a united front against the rich amongst the people.
You're essentially arguing that you want people to remain in poverty because the second someone gets out of poverty, you label them as "the enemy" which is pretty fucked up.
I see nothing wrong with someone having two homes.
I do.
I used to get my meals from food pantries and churches.
The rule was: no one gets seconds until everyone's been served.
If that makes me an evil commie or something, fine. It feels less evil than homelessness and plural homeownership existing at the same time.
But why should your food bank or church allow you to have seconds when there are other food banks and churches out there that ran out early before serving everyone? Why should you get a food bank at all when there are places that have none?!
This logic can always be applied to any situation because there are always worse situations to be found. You're not solving anything by tearing down the guy who now earns enough to buy a meal or two at a restaurant in comparison because he's not far off from your own situation. Attack the guy who buys the $10,000 lunch and doesn't even finish it. They're the tiny minority that have the biggest impact on the rest of us.
Good. Fuck airbnb's.
Seems these robots are some violent jerks...
Sucked in fucker.
