Point of this map is that it breaks down high wage, low wage, PR and a couple of others. Each one is colour coded. Want to guess which one dominates the map? You can zoom out to fuckin Saturn and still see the dominant colour. |

There's no question that Airbnb has created issues with the housing market, and it's a huge contributor to our supply shortage, especially long term rentals. |
We used AirBnB to find the last place we stayed at on our fishing trip. While we were there we met the actual owners and set up a direct deal with them for next year. More money in their pocket, less money out of ours, win for everyone! Fuck AirBnB! |

You do know the more rental protection there are the less rental units there will be. :pokerface: |

They don’t like Airbnb because of the fees but still use VRBO for exposure. They said the #1 tip they have is to search the same title of the listing on Airbnb in google, because typically smart hosts will have a private listing with the same title that cuts out the fees etc. Of course in those scenarios you don’t have the protection Airbnb provides but if they have a good rating on Airbnb it’s probably a safe bet to book privately The hotel VS Airbnb argument is always one seemingly made by people who use neither though. They are two different things, used for different purposes. |
lol man talking about corporations fucking us then defending this one cause you like it is wild. This is one of the biggest contributors to the housing price issues here. Not to mention how many owners are operating against local rules. Hotel chains aren't sweet but at least they work in accordance with local zoning that isn't taking away a place to live in a district with a housing crisis. Airbnb though was a dope idea when it was people going away for the week and subsidizing their trip offering decent accommodation for travellers, but like everything else it became a freight train fuelled by money and greed. |
The govt. does not even have a way to quantify the legislation to ban them. Show me what the ban has done, show me -any- stat that can prove it’s had an impact. Oh you can’t? Crazy it must be working amazingly then. Prices haven’t dropped as they figured they would, rents have slipped slightly, but was that due to the Airbnb ban or was that the pullback on immigration and foreign students? Oh there’s no way to quantify that either? :lol Underscore simping for the Hiltons, Hyatts and cab drivers of the world while shitting on Airbnb is hilarious. It’s just another service we’ve allowed to penetrate society without anyone with half a brain assessing the impact then we have a knee-jerk reaction in a desperate attempt to save face, but then with no way to measure the outcome. All it’s done is price people out of vacations. Oh well, less bums with kids running around the okanagan. |
A basement suite in the okanagan can bring in 70k annually on Airbnb with most of that in the summer months. An equivalent long term rental would bring in 30k and stuck with them 365 days a year. The unit is physically inspected/licensed by the city and fire dept yearly, taxes are collected via Airbnb. Guests get a discount at the local family owned restaurant because the owners are happy to get the business. Guests like having secure boat parking and grass for the dog to shit all over compared to a hotel. Groups of married women from Vancouver on a girls wine trip enjoy inviting guys back that aren’t their husband (shocking how common this is). The local unemployed stay at home moms are now earning minimum $35 per hour with hours flexible enough to take care of the kids and do Airbnb cleans when no typical 9-5 job would hire them. |
There's a huge market segment that Airbnb serves that hotels do not get in, that's the vacation home rental. I'm not saying they don't exist outside of Airbnb but Airbnb makes it much much much much easier to find, compare, and book these stays. When you have 3 families with kids tagging along, being able to rent a whole house just isn't the same as renting 3 hotel rooms. Sadly the ease of these rentals also goes against the whole affordability problem in the desirable regions. I don't have any industry experience with running a hotel, but would it be that challenging to be renting out family suites that aren't luxury executive suites that costs $2500/night? |

You sit here whining about everything in Canada but when something has been proven multiple times to be a net negative to our country you just decide all on your own that it's actually fine and the real problem is some made up nonsense that magically only you know about. Then we've got everyone in the real estate thread talking about how everyone's getting priced out of the GVRD, but then have no problem doing the same thing to people elsewhere to save a couple bucks or a couple mouse clicks on their vacation. Give me a break. |
Hotels also pay additional tax MDRT for the increased amount of water and sewage use. Tech Revolution in the past 10 years has been Digital currency for speculation and criminal use (Bitcoin) Illegal hotels (Airbnb) Illegal Taxis (Uber) Illegal rental cars (Turo) Social Media |
Don't forget cold burgers for $39.75 to your door. |
We should start RS airBNB or RS school for retards who want to do better than "emerging" and other life skills. |
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigns from Trudeau's cabinet wthhhhhhhhhhhhhh https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fin...inet-1.7411380 |
and she tosses Trudeau under the bus LMAO |
Got off the ship before it sinks. Housing minister signalled his resignation, now Freeland surprise. Don't think even Mark Carney can save this ... he'd be smart for his own future, to stay away from Trudeau. |
Hah hah hah hah… Turds most loyal soldier can’t even stomach sticking around. She knew she’s gonna have to lay out a terrible budget that she’s going to take the brunt of after lieing through her teeth about managing debt previously. Coward. |
lol she's arguably even less popular that Trudeau these days |
i knew honda would be having a great Monday after reading that news. |
I wonder if there will be more cabinet ministers resigning after Freeland tossed Turd under the bus with her resignation. It's not even Christmas yet and Turd is already getting shit in his stockings hahah. |
I mean she definitely needed to go as finance minister............... but as usual for him these days he did it all fuckin wrong lol |
