I love how you all still screech over Airbnb even after all the data has shown they aren’t raising your mortgage and that bull crap.
I love Airbnb and Uber Lyft. The taxi industry DESERVED a good fucking. 90% of them scumbags who couldn’t show up on time and were actively trying to rip you off. Scumbag class and I’m happy Uber forced some accountability in the ride services sector. It’s a billion times better and service has improved GREATLY in the states.
Fuck the drivers. They were assholes and deserved it. Prices are stable now that everyone caught up and those assholes can’t pretend like they didn’t have a working reader. Seriously fuck them, the entire industry deserved it
I’m kind, tip well, and certainly don’t show up late/ no show my family and friends, lie about my ability to take cards, and run up meters 🤷♂️.
It’s not some conspiracy every millennial and old who had to deal with cabs in the 00s and earlier has a story and vicious hatred of them 🤣. The industry was verifiable filled with shit heads ripping people off with little to no accountability.
While none of these are definitive I think they paint a pretty decent picture that they are pros and cons. The rising price of mortgages are conflated with renovations and economic growth. This growth tends to be in local growth, not corporations. With home values being tied to value there are some expected cons to this as well.
It’s a complex model and instead of making them the Boogeyman we should understand the positive and negatives.
I don’t disagree that the taxi industry needed a good shaking, and Uber/Lyft have brought a lot of convenience and features to the party compared to a traditional taxi service, but that doesn’t automatically make Uber the good guys in the equation.

Uber is horribly exploitative of their drivers.
And AirBNB is hated because it increases the landlord class.

Zero evidence on the latter.
Why shouldn’t they be assholes when they have to deal with piece of shit riders like you?

I’d like to see all this data about Airbnb you’re talking about. My knowledge of Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Rome tells a different story.

Your statement defies supply and demand. Maybe take an economics course.
👌👍
