Long term: make the world a more connected place. The multiple guests travelling to this place is more important than one neighbor's bad experience.

- foepys 8y agoMaybe we could think of something where tourists can stay without disturbing long-term renters. Like a house full of short-term renters. Oh, wait, that's a hotel.
- the_clarence 8y agoHotels are horrendous and too expensive. Haven't stayed at one since airbnb became a thing
- dorchadas 8y agoYou assume they actually interact with the locals to make the world a more connected place. That doesn't happen by tourists just showing up and doing touristy things. In fact, the reverse can happen as locals get priced out because of tourists and they start to actively blame the tourists for the issue. Then, those who stay blame them for their behavior, which certainly doesn't lend itself to a residential neighborhood, which just makes those people dislike tourists as well. Definitely the opposite of being 'more connected'. > The multiple guests travelling to this place is more important than one neighbor's bad experience. You're assuming that only one neighbor has a bad experience. What if it's all of them, except the short-term residents? I also disagree that the experience of the guests is more important.
- the_clarence 8y agoYou ignore the fact that tourists bring money to all the commerces around
- dorchadas 8y agoExcept there won't be any businesses around if tourists price them all out of the city.
- the_clarence 8y agoI fail to see how tourists decrease the number of commerces. Your rethoric has pretty much been debunked by any touristic areas.
