It'd be nice if there was something along the lines of youth hostels, or the boarding houses that existed a hundred years ago. In some places, you've got dive motels that cater to truckers and itinerant construction workers and the like, but even at the cheapest you're looking at something around $40-50 a day. There's a big gap in the market there that isn't being served.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoThere’s lots of liability involved with housing people and a reason why it’s not sustainable to offer prices lower than what you can find.
- trevyn 7y agoThese should be solvable problems, considering that much lower prices exist in most of the world.
- icebraining 7y agoI wonder why it's so expensive. You can find cheaper than that in Western Europe; like $20/night in a dorm bed in a nice hostel in Brussels, with access to bathroom and kitchen. Of course, I'd be sure to follow the article's advice - they're looking for foreign students, and it's to tell you they're full if they don't like your looks.
