No one on Lemmy uses AirBnB.
I use airbnb and like it. But I'm european and we have basic common sense.
Why not? I do very frequently, though recently hotels are becoming the better deals again.
Flying internationally with some broken bulbs in my luggage is a shit way to save money though, but that's the community we're in anyway.
I'm sorry, but you can't beat AirBNB/VRBO when you're a larger group of people for a longer stay.
That being said, my eyes have been opened recently about the damage this does to communities, and it's definitely a consideration now.
I don't really buy the damage to communities thing.
Accommodation for tourists will always compete with accommodation for residents. If tourists aren't staying in apartments then you need less apartments and more hotels. If tourists aren't staying in hotels then you have more apartments.
There's not really any data that suggests that short stay accommodation is causing social problems like increasing the cost of living in communities generally.
Of course there are exceptions - holiday destinations with limited accommodation supply, inadequate regulations around short stay accommodation et cetera, but those are the exception rather than the norm.
Here in Western Australia short stay accommodation has to be approved by the local government. If you're approved you get a license number and without that AirBnB et al won't list you.
Why do you say that?
Because most people on lemmy have very little life experience, can't afford to travel, and believe AirBnB is the reason they don't live in a mansion.
So you're just pulling stuff out of your ass? Most people on Lemmy seem middle aged. It definitely seems to skew fairly old compared to other social media. Even if it doesn't, it feels really weird to just label Lemmy users as not having life experience. Weirder to say people without life experience are the vast majority of AirBnB users. And like... Wtf is this about Lemmy users believing they'd have a mansion if not for AorBnB??
Yes of course I'm just pulling stuff out of my ass.
That said, I will cite the comments under this post as evidence in support of my assertions. People with little life experience tend to seek reductive explanations for problems like "property is expensive because of AirBnB".
You probably just stumbled on the permabanned edgy reddit troll, who thinks he found a new home here.
