Days after recieving flak from across the world Airbnb Finally rolls out full refund policy for reservations worldwide. “This policy now applies to existing reservations for stays and Airbnb Experiences made on or before March 14, 2020, with check-in dates between March 14, 2020 and April 14, 2020,”

Poor baby. Those three houses could be used as actual homes for people who need housing. I’m a supporter of the original idea behind Airbnb, home owners renting out extra unused spaces. But now it’s big business and these Airbnb owners buy up what little comes on the market sight unseen and price out normal people. There’s almost nothing available around here for rent and we are the kind of people who are suffering because of Airbnb completely fucking our housing options. We can’t buy and we can’t rent because of airbnb, it’s not fair we may have to leave this area because of people like you. Until we can afford to leave, buy or find a better place to rent we’re stuck in a shitty rental paying too much and it’s so depressing. It’s even more disheartening to know how many places around here are Airbnb’s that are sitting empty. It’s a ghost town around here with no tourists so these beautiful houses are sitting empty. It’s just so difficult and depressing. I hope people like you can’t pay the mortgages on the housing you’ve hoarded and eventually maybe I’ll get a crack at buying it for a reasonable price.
