Yeah, but on the same token you don't want to give hotels the monopoly.. There is so much price gouging if they know some big event is happening in town. Plus many areas have fuck all for hotel capacity. I do AirBNB because I don't have $150 every time I want to go to a city. I wish we'd have capsule hotels
Are you implying that AirBNB hosts don’t do this price gouging as well?
What you describe is just another example of poor urban planning + untapped market of public transport.
