re: Maybe we can solve that housing inventory issue by killing AirBNB

I like airbnb with heavily trips. We would rent an apartment in LA or NY and it would be around the same as a hotel but everyone had space. Plus it gave us an idea of what it would be like to live in those cities.
Now I really only do hotels for US travel but I do a lot of foreign airbnbs.



Colombian bachelor pad in walled city Cartagena. $35/night. Hot tub on a ledge over the bed.





6th floor penthouse with sea views from every room including toilet. Isla Mujeres - $75



600 year old former Rabbi's villa, Toledo Spain with courtyard. $85



Just always need to check fees. They do sometimes scam with the cleaning fees.
I also used to rent houses outside of Disney World for $115 a night. Last hotel we stayed in, the Beach Club was $435 a night. I much prefer the airbnb house.

Though in every instance it's easy to see how you can be taking housing away from others.
