If anyone’s wondering what the dude who sang “chocolate rain” is up to these days, he’s dropping absolute bangers about housing and he’s fucking right
@Daojoan yer we have the same issues in NZ as well. I woud also limit short term rental (airBNB) to only permit if the freehold title owners live on sight and are onsite during the stay. (Eg a farm can have an airBnB cabin but a townhouse or apartment in a city can’t be an AirBNB, a room within a home can be though)
@hishnash @Daojoan I like this. I thought Air B&B was a cool idea when it was a homeowner renting a guest house or spare room. But it's turned into a way uglier monster.
@desertgoalie @Daojoan yer the good AirBnB I have used have been this, were its a cabin or guest house on a vineyard etc were the owners live there... they meat you when you turn up, they pop over with a local cheese board and even pre-fire the wood fired hot tub so its all ready for you to do some midnight stare gazing.
