Yes I agree. Prices should be WAY higher for what you get. I looked at buying in Tahoe but didn't because I was buying for cash flow, not strictly for a second home. There's just too much high quality inventory and the amount of s

My point was that a lot of hosts cater to people on vacation because that's the bread and butter for them and AirBnB right now. They're well positioned for vacation rentals, not more-demanding business travelers at this point but

Tahoe is a tough market. Prices should be way higher for what you get in my opinion. I'm not in Tahoe but I can sleep 16+ people at my place and I have more problems when I have the price lower. I had guests complain once that there we

AirBnB is inferior now because those hosts aren't necessarily designing it for business travelers. They don't have the insight to accommodate that audience. Or maybe the places you are booking don't get a lot of biz travelers

I agree with the parent on negotiating and I think your points are valid too. There's no one individual parameter in this discussion if you're looking to improve. I did see something in the article you noted that I'd like to

True but the fanaticism can wear out quickly. As a car company I think they're in for a tougher challenge than they've already had and done well with. They could end up being the Razr phone of cars. Cool. Everyone wants one. First

Tolls don't bother me personally. If it clears congestion and earmarks funds so that the people that use them pay for them; that's a good thing. However, isn't it a regressive tax? The price for the tolls will affect people w

So true. There's numerous studies that show we're programmed to just trust those in uniforms, especially lab coats. And given how often science turns out to be wrong, or that we can rarely even reproduce studies and results, you&#

People can be on the same page but still have a debate about the extent of the situation. They could agree on man made climate change while believing it's not a doomsday scenario. The extent is important because that's how you set

I'm not sure what your point is. Is it that since every state benefits from NOAA data it's a sensible investment federally? What if a state requires 5x as many resources as another state? We already have a scenario where southern

Honest. I was pretty clear that I think it's a state issue but was interested in hearing whether it's feasible for the states to handle. If it isn't, then I could see that being a valid justification as a federal investment w

Yeah that's overboard and I don't think common services should be profitable enterprises, but the notion that you'd have an entity with serious repercussions for doing wrong to the people they swore to protect is not unfound.
