This is a problem to be address by user reviews, possibly formalized as some sort of "authenticity/personal metric".
You are searching for a certain feel or experience, which is fine. Personally, I'm more interested in just saving money, a savings which arises from the taking advantage of previously un-rented space and the part-time labor of folks who aren't able to work full time for hotels. Both of us can co-exist on AirBnB. Just read the reviews, and perhaps petition for AirBnB to include a formal metric (or prompt reviewers more for their opinion on the personal feel, etc.).
A full-time AirBnB landlord doesn't ruin the whole point or lose sign of any wonderful vision. I want a "substandard, impersonal distributed hotel", because I don't want to spend on money things I don't care about.
- skummetmaelk 10y agoThe problem is that you are not taking advantage of previously unrented space, such as a spare room would be. You are forcing people that live in the city out so you can rent their room.
- jessriedel 10y agoThat's the "part-time labor" section of my post is about. And, at its current level of detail, your criticism could be applied any time someone finds a more economically value use for something and "forces out" (i.e., out bids) the previous buyer.
