People earning money by collecting rent on real estate really aren’t contributing much of anything to anybody, more of a tax on the rest of us by directly taking our income or raising prices on the real estate which will do so otherwise.
Not the parent but yes? I mean I basically don't even bother with hotels anymore when I travel. My experience with Airbnb's and the like has been consistently better. You get a whole apartment or house, it's cheaper, the person renting actually gives a shit about the experience, you get appliances, a real kitchen, not shitty Wi-Fi, drinks and snacks that aren't $7 charged to the room.
Like it's hard to argue it's not a fair price when it's better and cheaper than the alternatives.
Yes. I slept in those apartments every night. Drank water from the tap. Washed my clothes. They served precisely the needs I expected them to at exactly the price I negotiated with the landlord.
