Guest rooms cost money we don't have, Andrea.
I think it's the point of the article tbh, title is tongue-in-cheek. Author is a fashion reporter for Forbes and lives in Berlin, I'm gonna guess one of those "digital nomads" who wants to live in a relatively inexpensive "world class" city while getting paid roughly a NYC wage. I wonder just how much of a contribution people like her make to housing crises in places like Berlin.
Ahhhh my b. For a second I thought "oh god, the 'millennials are killing this that and the other' trend is back" and kinda knee-jerked a little.
Lol I added a bit more context. Honestly losing my sympathy a bit when I realized it's probably a bougie kid that just wants places like Berlin to also have McMansions
