    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.

    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.
