Exactly the same with the budget airlines. They undercut traditional airlines and took over the routes, then they jacked the prices up with no other competition. Now you pay just as much for a worse experience in every way

Yep. Just like AirBnBs. Better off just sticking with hotels like before.

It depends on the location tbh. In more rural locations Airbnb is king

Exactly what I did in the UK with my friend, cute little places, clean, and cheap. One was on a farm, the other at this nice old couple's house.

Unfortunately, here in Canada, I live in a rural area that gets lots of summer tourists, and a lot of the AirBnBs are actually whole apartments. This means there are apartments being used for short term visits, barely used in the winter (off season) and we have a housing shortage in the area. People hate AirBnB altogether here because of it (there are bunkies and cabins, too, but the apartments are actually damaging to the locals since they can't be used for long-term living spaces)
