Maybe it's just me, but I actually don't think it makes sense to require you be physically present in the house while you Airbnb it out. I assume the goal was to prevent someone having multiple Airbnbs? But the problem is: people should have the right to rent out their place for a couple weeks while they're out of town. Right? Wouldn't it be better to instead say "you can only list your primary NY residence on Airbnb, no additional listings"?

I don't really see how preventing folks from renting out their places while they're out of town makes NYC more affordable, that's not housing that was available to long term residents anyway, someone was already there. If anything, it might make things more expensive for folks who want to visit family. What am I missing here?

"

Many places have begun to regulate short-stay rentals to encourage owners to return their properties to the long-term rental market.

Nicole Gurran, a professor of urban and regional planning at Sydney University, has been studying this for almost a decade said the link has been well established.

"There's robust research evidence now internationally that the more short-term rentals in an area, the tighter a rental market, and you see that tight rental market flow on in terms of higher rents and higher house prices," she told 7.30.

"The research evidence shows too, that when you take short-term rentals out of the market and return them back to the long-term rental supply, that rents also fall in an area."

The short-stay companies like Airbnb and Stayz believe they've become an easy target and are a scapegoat for more the complex long-term issues that contribute to housing availability.

From Stayz:

"...it's important to remember that regulating short-term rental accommodation in isolation will not solve the housing crisis."

To which the world has responded:

BULLSHIT

Here's the proof:

"

THE NUMBER OF short-term Airbnbs available in New York City has dropped 70 percent after the city began enforcing a new law requiring short-term rental operators to register their homes. There are thousands more listings that could be unregistered.

August: 22,000 NYC listings

September: 6,841 NYC listings

Some short-term listings have been switched to long-term listings,

The number of long-term rentals jumped by about 11,000 to a total of 32,612 from August 4 to September 5.

"

That uptick in long-term rentals is exactly the behavior NYC wanted to see.

Good for you NYC!

Housing is for people. Not for investment.

As for Airbnb and Stayz who have desperately tried to spin this debate as though they are simply scapegoats for bad government planning - we can all clearly see that these companies have ALWAYS been part of the problem.

Can you imagine an arsonist or a murderer putting up such a ridiculous defense when all the evidence points to their guilt?

When a tobacco company is found to be selling products that cause cancer, or a chemical company is found to be polluting the local aquifer and poisoning nearby residents, when a big pharma company is found to be paying doctors to over-prescribe addictive opioids - when the court of public opinion finally sees the evidence that those companies are at fault - those companies have to pay.

And in those cases where RJ Reynolds, Dow Chemicals, and Purdue Pharma were found guilty - NONE of them were so pathetic as to try to play it off like they are just a scapegoat.

That's how pathetic Airbnb and Stayz look right now.

Worse than Big Tobacco.

Worse than Big Pharma.

Airbnb / Stayz are at the root of a failed experiment that has distorted the housing market over the past 10 years and they need to be stopped.

Forcing low and middle income people and families out of long-term housing, forcing countless others to pay obscene increases in rent due to lack of supply, pushing people to live out of their cars or on the streets.

These companies have caused untold suffering and mental anguish - many of those impacted likely resorting to drugs/alcohol or self-harm to escape the pressures.

Yet Airbnb / Stayz claim to be unfairly demonized in this story?

Fuck that noise.

Take em down.

A Step by Step Guide to Losing Your D**k

I recently wrote a series of messages to my aunt talking about all the steps I need to do to get bottom surgery, a penile inversion vaginoplasty at Mt. Sinai, in the next year or two. Its a long list. And everytime I added something she had a sort of “wow thats rough” reaction, but to me its just the to do list. So I decided to write them all out.

Go to NYC for that if need be

No alcohol, no aspirin, NSAIDs, herbal supplements, or fish oil

Consult for other non aspirin blood thinners (which I am not on)

No alcohol for 3 weeks after as well

Tylenol/Acetaminophen is okay

aaaand i'm back !! sorry for the radio silence, i've been so busy these past few weeks after getting back from europe. i decided to take a break from DC and spend the holidays in my favorite city, NYC <3 all i do everyday is café hop, journal, and read for my upcoming legal literature class (currently reading 1984, which i've never read in high school). in good news, i found out today i passed the state bar, woohoo !! i was pretty worried when i sat for it in my airbnb in portugal and even considered canceling it but i'm glad i took the risk :)) hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season !!!

[bellysoupset]

If each of your OCs could plan the perfect vacation, where would they go and with whom? I was going to say just with their S/O and that's fine too but I want to know about Max too. Money no object - so I want to know what kind of place they'd stay at too. I KNOW Wendy is a five-star resort and please bring me cocktails by the pool kind of girl, but where?

Oh boy, okay I need to think. I'm gonna pair up the OCs for ease, since they are each other's favorite people anyway.

Jonah/Leo - this is actually you just asking me where they'll spend their honeymoon and I think it'll be in a mini tour through Europe. Jonah doesn't much care for it, but he likes the historical buildings and most importantly, he loves to show off and Leo doesn't know these places, so it's the perfect opportunity to be his tour guide. Add to that the mild temperatures and they'll have a blast. Yes, staying in fancy hotels, Leo doesn't get a say on it (not that he would genuinely care, travelling is the one thing he's okay with splurging).

Lucas/Bell - the BEACH! Bella loves loves the beach, she's a mermaid, and Luke loves his wife in a bikini. It does need to be somewhere with shade, because he turns into a lobster very easily. I think Luke would much prefer taking her in a boat trip, where she gets to swim in the ocean and he gets to chill in the boat, but Bella is scared of sharks lol. So beach it is. They learned their lesson with the maldives honeymoon and wouldn't pick a super far away place, since Bella gets airsick. If they're feeling bold they'd go to Hawaii and if not, Florida it is. Ideally they'd close to the beach, but with A/C because otherwise Luke WILL melt and be extremely bitchy. He can settle for a mid range hotel though!

Wendy/Vince - Hahaha you're spot on about Wendy, but I think that's more solo Wen! With Vince I think she'd love to exploring and to go dancing! I can see them going for salsa night, tango night, bolero... She'd demand they stay at a fancy hotel, Wendy is definitely the person who splurges in room service and goes to the hotel/resort's spa, but I think she'd also want to take Vin to all sort of romantic touristic places. Has she been to Paris before? Yes, but that won't stop her from dragging Vin there and to all the spots she wanted to kiss him at. They'd also absolutely go back to Sicily! Vince is not the ultra urban type, though, so I don't see him in NYC or Tokyo, he likes his touristic places a little dusty, a little ancient.

Max/Vince - Putting Vince there, since he's currently the only person in Max's life and I guess the only one Max can imagine himself travelling with. Despite his grouchy personality, Max is a sunny person. He'd love to go to the Amazon and get lost in the forest, see all sorts of animals up close. He gets sunburnt easily, but that will not stop this man. Little does he know that Vince is more of a gloomy weather person than sunny. I think Max would love to go camping and stay in all sorts of hostels and airbnbs and he's easily, out of all my OCs, the one who least cares about comfort. He'd sleep in the cold forest ground if that meant seeing a cheetah up close and maybe getting to pet it.

NYC - friend trip 2024

I'm pretty sure this is my third visit to NYC and my favorite so far! There are still so many things I want to see, but some highlights from this visit were:

Wicked on broadway!

A meal in Ellen's Stardust Diner where the waitstaff all sings. I think the rendition of Defying Gravity in the diner was even better than the rendition on broadway. Incredible!

Chinatown food tour.

We didn't make it all the way across the Brooklyn bridge, but I'm so glad we walked at least part of it.

Top left pic is from the high line. Not sure I'd count that as a highlight but glad we checked it out, and the gelato I had at Chelsea Market shortly before taking this picture was absolutely a highlight.

Not pictured, but dice and card games in our airbnb between the food tour and broadway show. Even though we were in nyc, just having some time to just hang out was really really nice.

And then I was about to spend four hours in the airport before my flight, but another flight to my destination was boarding and they let me on it since they had an open seat! I got a seat four rows forward of where I would have been, and I only spent ten minutes in the airport. AND it meant I got home in time to go to an office party that I was going to have to miss, and that ended up being more fun than I expected.

Pulled out the trombone again last night to enjoy the fantasy of making a big life change and moving to NYC to play in pit orchestras on broadway. (Ken hates this fantasy lol but he is so happy to see me playing music again)

Why I Chose an Outpost Club Shared Apartment

After four years of floating around co-living spaces in New York City, I thought I should put my comprehensive (and admittedly niche) knowledge of the city co-living scene to good use by creating this blog. My intention is to help others cut through the fat and find the right company by sharing my experiences.

I’m originally from Denmark, which is famous for its cohousing model, so the idea was quite familiar to me. Cohousing is designed so that you’re likely to run into others and it creates more opportunity to socialize. I sought out co-living in order to make friends and live in community, something that is difficult to find in modern times My journey started with Common, which at the time seemed to be the most well-known co-living company in New York.

While I had pleasant housemates while at Common, their maintenance team was not attentive, which proved quite frustrating whenever an eletric kettle broke/an appliance wasn’t working properly. The location itself was quite nice and had a modern, renovated look. Once my short-term lease was up (which is a huge benefit of co-living companies; they offer flexible terms), I knew I wanted to try something new, which is when I took a chance on 

What I wish I knew four years ago: For co-living in NYC, the best choice by far is Outpost Club.

I decided to explore a new neighborhood in the city and settled on The Greenpoint House. I was attracted by Greenpoint’s many quirky shops, bars, and bakeries, and the many wonderful features of this building: There’s a rooftop, furnished backyard, in-unit laundry, and a gym–amongst other communal spaces! This proved to be the best housing decision I’d made yet, as the apartment was clean, spacious, and the sense of friendliness extended beyond just my roommates.

The building itself carried a particularly strong community spirit, as impromptu hangouts between those in other flats happened often. There were also quite a few community events sponsored by Outpost Club, which were amazing for helping to break the ice and make acquaintances. Additionally, the practicilaites of co-living were made so much easier as their all-star customer support team was attentive to any maintenance related issues that came up, as well as the fact that they supply household basics like toilet paper, garbage bags, and a handful of other products that made living with others easier.

I ended up trying out a few different neighborhoods, from Bushwick to Harlem, as each has a unique feeling that made living in the same city a completely new experience. However, while Outpost offered a consistent, positive experience with each stay, last year I finally decided to “put down roots” (AKA, sign a 12-month lease), back at the Greenpoint House which I loved so much. I stayed friends with those I met in the Greenpoint House and it just felt the most like home. This isn’t an uncommon thing to do, either–I know at least 2 people that I met at Outpost who for different reasons left the city, only to return to this location when life circumstances took them back to NYC.

The best part of committing to a long term lease? You lock in the most affordable rate for a year, whereas with Airbnb or short term leases, you’re at the mercy of current markert pricing. I wholeheartedly endorse Outpost Club as the best option for conscious co-liviing in the greatest city on earth.
