    I honestly don’t get the appeal of AirBNB. Like, what do they offer that a hotel doesn’t? I could see a use case where you’re in the middle of nowhere.

      Pre-kids, totally agree. With young kids, being able to go into the living room when they’re asleep and hang out is nice. We’ve been transitioning back to normal hotels now that they’re a bit older and just being able to check in and out is nice.

      When it was just people renting out spare bedrooms for cheaper than a hotel it was fine.

      When people started making it an investment and changing it from “place to sleep” to some kind of destination whole-house/apartment rental bullshit it became the toxic thing it is now.

      It also fucked up the housing market because AirBnB rentals for $250/night every weekend pay more than renters with lower wear and no renters rights, and make for a better investment than just selling the property.

      It used to be much better (like when it first started). Now it’s straight trash and has been for quite some time.
