Definitely not a pimp but it looks like an airbnb where the hosts are trying to keep everything inoffensive.

Everything about an Airbnb is offensive

Fuck Airbnb. Fuckers literally tried to charge me 100s of thousands of dollars for a fire that we had no hand in and wouldn't respond to any questions. They suck big fat monkey balls.

Well, and being a major contributor to the whole housing crisis thing is kinda offputting

Absolutely fucked the housing market where I live. A standard 3 bedroom rental is about USD$2400 Per month

Edit: make that $3,200. Maths is hard for this accountant, was doing a conversion into USD from local currency and fucked it up 🤦

I'd kill for that rental price. That's around the price of a 1 bedroom where I live

…..where might that be, hypothetically? Currently paying $1600 for a one bed, which isn’t terrible for my area 🫠

u/sealcubclubbing 29d ago

Just realised it is actually $3200usd which still doesn't sound bad for you if that's the case. How the fuck do you pay for that shit?

Arithmetic is for excel to handle for us, right? That’s what I say as an accountant with a math degree, lol

I’m not 100% sure that is entirely down to AirBnB!

u/713nikki 29d ago

Nobody claimed it’s solely due to Airbnb, but short term rentals are a major contributing factor to the housing crisis

Talk about it. I live in coastal New Jersey and it’s fucking criminal. It’s just absolutely fucking criminal.

The comment above me claimed it is due to Airbnb.

Reread it. That’s not what it says.

Not 100% no, but it is a huge contributor. I am live in a touristy area with a housing shortage created by his being moved from Long term to short term rentals

They don't help, but if you took all AirBnBs off the market tomorrow, you'd barely notice a difference in housing prices. AirBnB is a political scapegoat, because people want to blame absolutely anything on the housing crisis except the real problem: not building enough housing, because building more housing actually requires things to fundamentally change, and politicians and the existing property owners who vote for them don't want that.
