Landlords notice they can get more $ off of Airbnb tourists than they currently get in rent, so they find ways to clear house on the people already renting there. Then you get people feeling like they’re being forced out of their community. It’s like gentrification without all of the urban renewal.
It is probably a death knell for historic communities given that a place like Chinatown is mostly only notable because of the community that lives there, but how much that should matter is pretty open to debate.
That’s been an issue in New York, too. Shit, I personally know two people who lease apartments and use them strictly for AirBNB purposes. NY has some stupid rule where you have to have at least one person living their permanently which then they hire people to live there rent-free but to manage the spot. You’ve essentially taken the spot away for 2-3 other possible tenants. AirBNB is contentious as fuck here and with good reason. That shit isn’t the cause of the fucked market, but it sure as hell isn’t helping.
Thinking about telling my boss I’m done with trade shows. The travel is getting to me. Every 2-3 months I’m on a flight no shorter than 3 hours and at max so far has been 9. Not only that but he’s such a fucking pain in my ass about “rules” that I’m losing all patience with this aspect of my job.
The upside is that it’ll get me a pay bump since they can’t claim these trips as a benefit to my job, but the downside is they say it’s now expected and I will be fired if I don’t comply. Being fired ain’t so bad. I sorta need something new.
Just ran four miles. Now it’s time for a nice :chaitealatte: ahhh yes a perfect overcast morning. I’m just sitting here with the windows open and the ceiling fan on max while watching Mike & Mike.
Anyday stuck in the atl suburbs is a good day. I should find a broad to fornicate with as well. I could use a new concubine.
Is there some sort of technical thing where they consider compensation for your business travel as part of your income? That sounds pretty fucked up to me, and I don’t think I’ve run into that before even for positions with “optional” business travel.
Also, I know you know this, but it is so much better to get your next job before you lose the current one.
Yeah it’s bullshit and they know it but I’ve kept very quiet on it since I really do abuse the reimbursements. Dudes can’t read anything other than Spanish so when they get a receipt they think it’s dinner when it’s a bottle of liquor from the country I’m visiting.
I know it’s better to have a job lined up, but sometimes you just gotta dip and let the chips fall where they may. My last job I left without a job to go to and it was honestly so satisfying. Yeah, I was poor as fuck and had to crash on my mom’s couch eventually for a couple of months, but that freedom was great.
When he gets back from Brazil, I’m gonna have to ask my friend what it’s like to fuck an Olympic gold medalist. I bet she’s crazy high on adrenaline and shit.
Who won what now, and how is it that your friend is fucking them?
Pretty sure that if I was an Olympic athlete, I’d be entirely focused on fucking other Olympic athletes until the games are over. Tail like that only gathers every 4 years and you are NOT guaranteed an invite back to the party next time.
