Is this a serious comment? I guess it's one of the reasons I'm grateful not to live in the United States. The fact people in your area might turn to using deadly force to address noise complaints and misbehaved kids completely blows my mind.
- brudgers 13y agoTwenty minutes from where I live in any direction, someone probably hunts the land. Guns are as common as hammers. Was my comment serious? yes. Were people seriously considering shooting someone? Of course not - they were expressing their frustration with the overall situation. Had they been inclined to shoot someone when annoyed, they would have done it long before the now. However, the truth of it is, there is no reason to believe that a transient lodger isn't going to roll into the neighborhood at 2am armed and drunk and starting trouble. That's the volatility in the mix, and why the AirBnB model poses problems in residential districts not structured to accommodate them. And that's the worry that my neighbors, and I, have.
