- EdwardDiego 3y agoTrue, but when one of your issues is "I like a clear space in an apartment I'm renting for a month, and I had to spend a day decluttering!" that's a problem that's a privilege to have. Especially when you're having it in an apartment that is no longer available for locals to rent because your American money goes a lot further than their money. AirBnB privileges the landlords and subjectively wealthy travellers over the locals. This is well established. (I admit that my snark got fired up when I read their complaint in an article linked from this about an apartment in Ukraine that only had two comfortable chairs out of four, because their two dogs that they're travelling with would hog the comfy chairs. Firstly, travelling with pets is expensive, aa privilege to be able to afford on top of the usual cost of travel. Secondly... ...tell your dogs to get off the human chairs.)
- golergka 3y agoYou're technically correct, but how is this relevant? Most of HN audience works in tech and is pretty affluent, so it is a perfectly good place to discuss problems of privileged people.
- EdwardDiego 3y agoI guess I want people to at least acknowledge how privileged we are. When you don't like your apartment in Ukraine because it only has two comfy seats and your dogs you brought from the USA have claimed them, at least acknowledge how lucky you are.
