Comment Airbnb's are great for tourists (Score 1) 137
Like always, too much of a idea good ends up having bad consequences. Airbnb's are great for large groups of people, especially families visiting a place. It is usually much cheaper and nicer to stay together in a single home/apartment for your holiday. Normally this works great but it backfires in very popular and expensive places like New York where it exacerbates a housing crises. The flip side is that all those tourists bring in money to the city supporting jobs and businesses.
