    Translation: there’s a fucking housing crisis and people are still living on the street but some rich fucking trust fund prick can come in and buy up all the real estate and fuck all the other working class over.

    Probably. But the housing crisis is not, in my opinion, a conseguence of Airbnb.

    The question is: if you rent a house with a long-term contract (in my country a 4+4 years), how easily you can have it back if for whatever reason you need/want it ? If the answer is “not easily” then you have the cause of the housing crisis and the reason for the airbnb success.

      Ahhhh gotcha. I didn’t mean for it to come off that way, Big Problems like housing, waste mgmt, water, etc are all very complex and multifaceted issues that are arguably primarily due to greed, and unnecessary/inefficient expansion of our race (cause is my opinion, not fact but claim is objective)
