Airbnb isn’t really that cheap anymore especially for full places

  Yeah I barely use airbnb - its almost always more expensive than alternatives. I do use it for discovery then go off platform for better spots. It is a premium service provider with a mixed quality outcomes and airbnb rakes in a lot of fees. That said, the defense of this thread is entertaining. I don't know how anyone can honestly say that airbnb doesn't impact housing supply. Its the equivalent to saying that the earth is flat.

  airbnb is great if you have like 10 or 20 travelling pals. You can rent a flat for everyone instead of a room for each one or pair of them

    renting a flat is great. i don't personally think that airbnb is a particularly great place for doing so, it's not the only place to do so

  > isn’t really that cheap Exactly! It contributes to rising rent costs... Now, FWIW, I prefer the adapt-or-die mentality, so I'm not anti-tourism, but if a majority of people in a certain place decide "no tourism", then hey more power to the people, they should decide whether they will accept tourism or not, not the tax-dollar-receivers...
