Perhaps it would be good for you to be aware of how crushingly privileged and tone-deaf this comment sounds. Arrogant even. Good for you that you get to travel the world with a laptop in your backpack, typing away lines of code for some inane web company for luxurious pay, all the while taking in the sights and culture of dozens of amazing places. That is a privileged lifestyle only a fraction of people can enjoy. Excuse me if the people whose lives are dramatically impacted by this economic squeezing don't give a damn that "you quite prefer short-term rentals".
You don't get to evade responsibility for the your actions and the consequences of your lifestyle, while advertising "worker rights" and "anti-poverty" in your bio.
Ironic how the keyboard warriors who accuse others of being "arrogant" tend to themselves come off as the most arrogant.
Again if you actually read my comment, the point is that governments are responsible AND the only entity capable of fixing affordable housing problems.
But sure feel free to villainify AirBnB and AirBnB guests/hosts if that makes you feel better. I was living off AirBnB and short-term rentals in NYC/SF too, I guess that means it's my fault that NYC/SF has expensive housing? Lol ok.
You should actually write a bio so I can anonymously insult your existence from the comfort of my keyboard. /s
