The End of Airbnb in New York::Thousands of Airbnbs and other short-term rentals are expected to disappear from rental platforms as New York City begins enforcing tight restrictions.
Off topic but I always thought the airbnb logo looks like a dangling ballsack and their service fits well with that image, so I’m not the least bit surprised to see the company struggling.
Toronto desperately needs this.
I hope that these type of easily exploitable services just absolutely die. New York is the last place I would have expected to hear these type of services turned scummy to start to disappear, but I welcome it and hope it spreads across the country.
translation, Hotels are losing to much business there
Translation: there’s a fucking housing crisis and people are still living on the street but some rich fucking trust fund prick can come in and buy up all the real estate and fuck all the other working class over.
Hotels at the very least are intended for mass population and are space conscious. Airbnb is a plague that is destroying our ability to own affordable homes because, yet again, the rich use their abundant, gluttonous power to fuck over anyone who isn’t giving them their money.

Probably. But the housing crisis is not, in my opinion, a conseguence of Airbnb.
The question is: if you rent a house with a long-term contract (in my country a 4+4 years), how easily you can have it back if for whatever reason you need/want it ? If the answer is “not easily” then you have the cause of the housing crisis and the reason for the airbnb success.
Ahhhh gotcha. I didn’t mean for it to come off that way, Big Problems like housing, waste mgmt, water, etc are all very complex and multifaceted issues that are arguably primarily due to greed, and unnecessary/inefficient expansion of our race (cause is my opinion, not fact but claim is objective)
Downtown service businesses looking at empty offices due to WFH. “Well, at least people still come downtown for its hotels. Tourists still have lots of money to prop us up!” AirBnB gets banned, hotels start jacking up prices. “Well, #$%#.”
I think offices into hotels would solve both problems, right?
Hotels require a vastly more dense plumbing structure, I don’t think it’s easy or cheap to retrofit onto an office building.
Hotels with dorm like shower systens maybe could work. I think something like a hostel.
That being said you cant charge much when you are forcing customers to share bathrooms.
Well, shared bathroom means zero stars so yeah, you basically can’t call it a hotel anymore.
