From the opinion piece:
> I can’t remember when we were actually in somebody’s home. It’s always somebody’s side hustle. They own 10 of them and live six hours away and they don’t give a dead rodent about you. The decor is always Early Target. You got a complaint? Send an email and we’ll get back to you. Maybe by Thanksgiving.
Perhaps “staying in someone’s home” doesn’t scale? For example, there’s a point at which buying extra insurance feels necessary, maybe not for an occasional visit from a family friend, or even a friend of a friend, but there is a point.
- voisin 1y agoMaybe it doesn’t scale but for those of us that tried AirBnB “back in the day” it was a brief and wonderful experience. We can’t have nice things.
