Marketforces... sometimes it rather seems funny to me, that people lived in "expensive" "downtown" areas, which are predestined for higher returns via businesses such as AirBnB. There is a development behind that (the development of the city), but you can't blame anyone involved. Permanent residents want to live rather cheaper, outside of the city, greener, calmer, etc. Temporary residents require easier access and closer proximity to their (daily/vacation/business) needs, since they are not familiar with the area. There is disruption of an old industry (hotels) and you can be against that, try to stop it and maybe also successfully stop it. But I am not sure about how much sense this makes. Times change 1. the city and 2. the businesses.
- dghughes 6y agoAirbnb's concept is to be a bed and breakfast or "b and b". A bed and breakfast model is where a person rents a room in an owner's home and in the morning breakfast is made by the owner. Airbnb has completely gone off the rails. Buying up entire apartment buildings is not a bed and breakfast business it's a hotel corporation called by a different name.
