There’s a reason it is banned or considered being banned in some cities around the world.

Correct! The reason it could be banned is because it is acceptable to ban under the neoliberal order. Notice how they haven’t banned rent even though that permanently solves the problem.

In large cities there are entire apartment buildings that have been converted to illegal hotels on Air BNB. It’s a huge problem, not the entire problem, but a damn big one.

I go to a lot of estate sales. A subset of the customers are people who have Airbnbs and are there for furniture and decorations.

Supply and demand are not really issues with housing, so again, it’s probably not an appreciable impact. Don’t believe the YIMBY lies.

You’re wrong, sadly.
buttnugget@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’d be happy to be wrong but since supply and demand aren’t really impactful on market rate housing, it probably doesn’t do much except piss off morons.
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You’re right on a micro level, but on macro scale, it’s absolutely making an impact.

I’d love to see some evidence of that since I’ve only ever seen reactionary YIMBY lies about it.
