Most people think it's a pretty relevant difference. For one thing, if you occupy a place year-round, you can keep your belongings in it. That's a pretty significant feature for most people, which is the reason most people choose to live in a permanent domicile rather than moving every week. But different strokes for different folks I guess.
- gruez 4y agoThe "a relevant difference" part was in relation to the sentence after, which is whether something is a scam or not. Regardless of what utility year-round occupancy affords you, I doubt that's the defining factor between whether it's a scam or not.
- hakfoo 4y agoI suspect there's also an overselling of a given property, and if not straight overselling, overselling the viable months. Most vacation destinations are somewhat seasonal. Maybe the most major cities with year round cultural activities, but not in places like beach and ski towns. You can potentially have 52 "1-week-a-year" people fighting over the 16-20 weeks a year the location is most desirable, and maybe settling for lesser times, or just not using it that year. Hell, why not sell 60 memberships, knowing some will just punt in any given year?
