...whatever the lawmakers say it's about.
I moved into our rental in 2021. At the time, rental ads got 400 applications per day. Many local families with money in the bank entered homelessness that year because there was nowhere to go.
The ad for ours was up for 2 hours and had over 50 apps. We won out by offering 6mos up front.
Two houses down is a short term rental. People are in it 3 weeks/yr. Any one of those homeless families would have rented it if they could.
One more family having a home is an actual good.
Keyboard jockeys can debate policy and believe they have the answer but the latest generation of homeless don't much care about theories. They just want a bedroom.
- epistasis 3y agoSounds like you need to build more housing. Banning AirBNB won't fix these deeply disturbing issues. Call me a keyboard jockey, but when more families are homeless soon after the ban, it's because housing was not built.
