airbnb is way out of hand, shit is unaffordable and whack now. just opened airbnb and the recommendations were a place in albrightsville, pa (where the fuck is that?) for $1300 A NIGHT. suck my dick and balls please.
mentioned it before, but me and ana have officially gone the way of the bed & breakfast/boutique hotel

based on what we know about the big boys (uber, airbnb, tesla, facebook), it seems like being a "disruptor" is really just good for the short term but ends up doing more harm in the longrun... it's the walmart model. operate at a loss until you starve out your competition, then raise prices. it's always bad for consumers.

times like these I'm glad to have friends who own houses in the two or three places I would want to visit besides NYC.

honestly that is one of the great aspects to board -- a place to crash/people to hang with in pretty much every corner of the world

I have a love/hate relationship with Airbnb. Weβre doing airbnbs out in Cali, next year in London and for our NYE gathering. They do make sense when you are trying to stay together with larger parties and hotels wouldnβt work.

I also have a pair of the Vans MTEs that I love but I don't want to get them all fucked in the mud. i've got a pair of the MTEs for snow and LL Bean duck boots for the mud. the LL bean boots are garbage for everything other than muddy terrain though.

living in a region with way too many airbnb and short term rentals i have very few issues with people who utilize them. i am very aggressive to people that own them, especially if they own more than one.

I want to see the collapse of Airbnb so bad. If I'm traveling solo, definitely staying in a nice hotel. 4 Seasons and Ritz-Carlton hotels are backed hard. Fuck Hilton tho.
