Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

    So you’re not working and collecting money for it so that you have more free time to yourself that you use for your own personal interests.

    You then make sure the people you rent to don’t have that free time, and raise the overall property prices by taking an available unit off the market.

    Got it.

      Nope, that’s very much not correct lol. I’m working. It’s just that you don’t find jobs that pay super much for open source work.

      And the people renting my apartment are DINKs, they have a lot of choice about how much free time they have.

      No idea about the market price thing. But I’m going to assume you got that wrong too, since the rest of your comment was baseless speculation.

        That’s nice you rationalize it. The damage you’re doing is minimal, so don’t worry about the avalanche snowflake.

        I understand you’re working, but you’re not working as much as the people you rent to (at a minimum to make up for the rent). They may have the means and not feel the impact, but that doesn’t change the math.

        The market is based on supply and demand. You reduce supply, therefore increase demand. More demand equals higher prices.

        Seeing as how you lack the basic understanding of these concepts, yet respond with arrogance, I won’t bother replying anymore.

          I am working as much as the people I rent to. I’m just working a job that generates more value for the public and less value for the company than a comparable job that I could get elsewhere. Therefore they pay me less than if I would work exclusively for some company’s bottom line.
