    I’ve seen on Airbnb people who own 50+ properties.

    I used air bnb and fees times and found it more expensive and a hassle compared to a hotel.

    250 dollar cleaning fee but you want me to take out all the trash, was the sheets, sweep, mop etc. no thank you

      I priced out an air bnb versus one of the nicer extended stay places. The ones that are larger and nicer than the apartments I have lived in.

      Guess what came in at 1/3 less cost, had maid service, and a free breakfast.

      I am all for banning Air BNB flat out unless the owner is living in the building. I am okay with a person buying a house and then renting out rooms or converting a basement to an apartment to lend out. It doesn’t remove available housing inventory from market to sit empty most of the year.

        That’s where I stand. Also helps a young person afford a home by renting a room.

        I’ve been watching the Oregon coast. I’ve seen a lot of air bnb for sale. Seems like the market is dropping on them.
