Socialism

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

My entire family has switched back to hotels with no regrets. We've all separately had bad experiences with Airbnb and realized hotels would never get away with that shit.
Also, unmentioned in the article is the topic of how Airbnb has contributed to the destruction of the single family home ownership market.
Real BnBs all the way. Regulated, no bullshit fees, actual hosts and other guests to meet and talk to over breakfast. Unique and lovely.
As Ron Swanson would say,
"Dear AirBnB,
Be a Bed and Breakfast, or be nothing."

I mean, Ron Swanson wouldn't approve of the regulation, though.
True. Unless it offered Lagavulin 16 as part of the breakfast option, with a side of all the bacon. Then, I'm sure, he'd be willing to accept.
The enshittification of AirBnB actually makes me kind of grateful that I stand to inherit my parents' timeshare that essentially just has a bunch of condos all over the place that you can book each year.
