Yeah, let's force citizens to bow to their government masters and pay their "fair" share, while Big Hotel lobbies away, competes unfairly and gets huge tax benefits.
- RcouF1uZ4gsC 8y agoYeah, let's force community residents to deal with noise and parties and the increased cost of housing brought by AirBnb while allowing AirBnb and their billionaire investors to make a lot of money while pushing off all the externalities on the communities.
- openbasic 8y agoOh, so you're in favor of housing segregation by the government?
- linedash 8y agoWhat; you meaning zoning?
- ifiri90pokn 8y agoI mean let’s be real: you described dozens of industries. From sports teams to manufacturing, our industries are fueled by externalizing the costs (cleanup, infrastructure, social services, etc). Locals need to collectively take back their agency in order for things to change. Stop manning their front desks, occupying their cubicles, leaving neighbors and families behind for long commutes on crumbling roads in tin cans. Stay home and work together as neighbors.
- fifnir 8y agoLet's allow richer-than-us foreigners to come to our city, buy all the houses, and then keep them empty to make tax-free money through air-bnb. Fuck the locals, there's tourists that want to enjoy the sun in the summer and arabs that need to invest their petrol dollars.
