I wish AirBNB would leave Australia.

Even better would be house sharing either banned or severely restricted.

It is ruining our society, making renting impossible in some towns, driving up house prices, pushing society towards "houses for the rich, nothing for everyone else".

I'd really like to give a big middle finger to AirBNB.

The disparity is what I find so sad. On one hand there's entire generations that can't afford to rent let alone buy but there are enough people traveling all over the world affording USD400 a night Airbnb's to price them out.

Maybe another symptom of wealth inequality.

AirBnB I kind of understand, but house sharing why?
Wrong terminology…. “Short stay home rentals”
