    Booking dot com aren’t buying homes that families could live in are they? Booking dot com are just facilitating bitch face making money on a human right. Systemic change is required:

    • banning people owning more than 1 or maybe 2 homes
    • taxing property earning at 90%
    • no tax deductions for property costs
    • building more government (fed, state and council) owned social housing
    • short term rentals susceptible to same rules as hotels
    • short term rentals requiring council approval

    The game is rigged but we shouldn’t give a pussy pass to the players just because they can play. They should be shunned and labelled as traitors to society.

      Yeah sure I’m in total agreement. But we’re not choosing between tackling property ownership systematically versus hurting the systematic evil of booking. We’re choosing between hurting one single landlord and hurting booking.
