> Because, personally, I'd rather not have the house next to me used for short-term rentals "shared" with those that don't give two shits about the community they'll be leaving on Sunday afternoon. Why do you believe that guests wont give "two shits" about the community. This sounds incredibly xenophobic to me.

There's houses on Airbnb that are advertised as party houses. This has caused a lot of issues for the neighbors of said "party houses."

  But you have to admit that these "party houses" are the absolute minority. Most offering are very restrictive in this regard. Anyways, I was being sarcastic by using the tools of a leftie. (declaring the parent to be a xenophobe)

    Do you perceive that your sarcasm was effective? Did it convey your point clearly and concisely, so that you can share your perspective and point of view? Or did it do more harm to what is otherwise a legitimate viewpoint and possibly deserving of discussion?

      Yes, yes and no. I'm btw sure that many Socialists would actually agree that the statement undoubtably displayed hatred and xenophobia. He did argue against allowing people from the outside to come and live in his community because he by default perceives foreigners as not giving "two shits" about the community. This is obviously not true, you can't just declare that all foreigners want to harm your community.

        OK, I would encourage you to reread the conversation. The HN consensus is clearly different than how you perceive it. You may be absolutely correct. The HN Hivemind is frequently wrong. But please use this as an opportunity for introspection, wherein you centralize the idea that the community of peers with whom you choose to associate, think you are an ass.

    if you have a bowl of M&M's and 5% of those M&M's are poisonous, would you eat from that bowl ? Go ahead, eat a handful of them... edit: Cleary comedy isn't my fortè.
