I’m shitposting because I think houses should house people and not be a hotel?
Oh, you want to have a little fun with me?
First explain your initial point, fully. You will do this first, on your next comment to me, or i will read your comment as "im shitposting and kind of new to trolling"
Since i think ive already seen your best, this is probably goodbye.
I appreciate your digging into it more thoroughly, friend.
I asked you to continue to reply in the thread, and that I did not want to DM with you.
In other words "I can't troll real well in DMs"
Why would I have a private conversation with someone I don’t know?
Houses should be houses, not hotels.
It’s pretty simple and if I have to say the same thing to you again I will.
They're already using it as a house.
I have a finished basement. I could fit a bed down here. Am I somehow obligated to let somebody live here? You sound like a teenager.
Do you Airbnb it out?
I slept on a pull out bed in a mate's living room once so I guess that should be converted into a separate dwelling.
Excellent reading comprehension.
If I wanted to that still doesn't mean I am obligated to be a landlord.
If you Airbnb’d it out you would be a landlord.
Houses should be used by home owners as they see fit a long as it isn't endangering anyone. Houses shouldn't be purchased as an investment to solely be used as hotels.
Isn't this contradicting yourself already?
Some people own more than one house, and perpetually rent those properties out via sites like Airbnb.
So we have:
Buying a property that you don't intend to live in, so that you can rent it out to other people as a short term let.
Buying a property that you live in, and occasionally renting out a spare room as a short-term let while you continue to occupy the property.
These are not the same.
They literally say "Houses should be used by home owners as they see fit a long as it isn’t endangering anyone." but "Houses shouldn’t be purchased as an investment to solely be used as hotels." which isn't what you are saying there.
