I, too, love externalities when other's bear the cost, and hate them when I bear the cost.

- syspec 8y agobest comment.
- mcjiggerlog 8y agoHeh. I am aware of the contradiction. My point is not all AirBnB usage is equal.
- pc86 8y agoSo it should be okay for your use case but not others?
- michaelbuckbee 8y agoWhich is true, but I think misses the point. It's not that AirBnB is in and of itself bad, but there are good and bad places to rent with respect to the neighborhood. Consider something like the Outer Banks for North Carolina, where nearly all the homes are rented out for vacationers. There's an expectation and knowledge of what to expect from the neighborhood (for example, multi-hour delays on the weekends as move in/out happens). That's a very different situation from buying a home in a neighborhood and then having every 3rd house turn into a hotel.
