Are short term lets the 'best' use, or the one that allows the owner of a scarce commodity to make as much money as possible to the detriment of the community in which the commodity is located?
- brendoelfrendo 2y agoThis is HN: there is a large class of users who do not see a distinction between "best" and "most extractive."
- Panzer04 2y agoIf short term letting is more profitable that necessarily implies it's the best use. Part of the issue seems to be that owners might accept lower profits from short term rentals to avoid the hassles of long term renting though (like a shitty tenant that becomes a nightmare)
