I love seeing more places banning or restricting air bnb. Fuck that company and its role in the housing crisis.
Fuck most of the ‘gig’ economy in general. It’s just a way for venture capitalists to skirt labour laws while peddling shitty stock to retail rubes.
It's also literally always trying to monopolise the platform for a market and then essentially extract rent from that platform, which is stupid, Uber and Airbnb (....) provide an app and maybe a little customer support but joink N% percent of each transaction.
