i have no overt objections to people using air bnb to rent out spare rooms in their homes, at least youre there to keep their behavior in check which minimizes the potential impact on neighbors

but gently caress renting out entire apartments and keeping housing off the market as illegal hotels

a bit of gas here and there but mostly paying out the nose for heating everything with electrical resistance

Be a baller like me and rent a 5 bedroom home then rerent the other 4 rooms on airbnb and pay net negative rent in motherfucking mountain view

All for the cost of doing some extra laundry and changing sheets every now and again. You gotta clean a bit more too but that's stuff you shoulda been doing anyway.

If the check-in/out load gets too annoying just put discounts on longer stays and fill up on on 3-month interns who are desperate not to sign a real lease.

I tell people I rent out 4/5 of the house to strangers and they're usually surprised to find out I hardly ever see them even though I spend most of my home time in the common areas.

When you're staying at an AirBNB you're pretty much either vacationing, business traveling, or doing a temporary work reassignment and thus you don't really have much cause to dole around the house.
