I imagined, at the time I was reading you know what, it would be like delicious canned pΓ’tΓ© in gravy. I realize this is basically cat food.

Airbnb has come a long way from folksy room sharing- I began by talking to neighbors and ended up finding an interstate network of influencer-driven high-profit Airbnb arbitrage investors. Who is behind some of the most prolific host accounts in the area?

Airbnb β€œarbitrage” is the practice of leasing a unit from a homeowner and managing it as a short term rental business at an even higher nightly fee. Influencers tout high monthly payouts, staging units and managing from afar, regardless of local ordinance particulars.

There was a lot of adorable there for a band on this theme, and I keep thinking fondly about the dad next to me who brought his kid, who was over the moon and dancing up a storm the whole night. And NO PHONES.
