Man, I wish I had that kind of cash. But nah, just someone who’s sick of all the posturing on the fediverse. We get it, your horse is the highest. You win.
I mean you’re replying fairly rudely and dismissively when all anyone has said is they wouldn’t choose to be a landlord. The horse is more of a mini pony
Why would these places be offering this program if it wasn’t beneficial to them? The article does discuss the concerns some locals have that they’re “selling their identity”, but also states that these places have used the incoming money to build vital infrastructure, including hospitals.
The user you’re referring to then implies they have the moral high ground because they wouldn’t participate because renting out or using the home for short term stays is problematic for the place they are from. Notably, this is not an active issue in places like Antigua. These homes are being built for this purpose, to support a program that is operating up to 30% of Antigua’s GDP.
So I will be dismissive because I think it’s far more rude to sit around posturing on the internet with very little care for the context of the issues of the topical nations because you don’t like tourists and Airbnb has created some issues for where you live. Nuance is pretty hard to come by on lemmy.
There are islands with 0-day residency requirements. You buy property, you never have to live there, and you still get a passport. You can AirBnB it.
So all I’d need to do is sell out my morals and exploit my fellow citizens…
Nah I’m good.
Is it the Airbnb part that compromises your morals? If so there are also options to make donations and start businesses
Yeah. A big part of the housing crisis in my area is rich assholes buying up homes and air bnb-ing them.
What if you buy the house and rent it to a local for less than other houses in the area?
Holy shit bro you’re so morally superior. Oh god, I’ve never met anyone as moral as you.
I wouldn’t want to be a part of what investors are doing to home ownership here…somewhere else. No.
Your problems aren’t everyone’s problems.
Feel free to join me over here on team people.
Sorry, I don’t need to get my validation by trying to prove my extreme levels of moral correctness on lemmy.

Extreme?
“I don’t want to be a landlord because I think it’s immoral” isn’t extreme.
“Kill all landlords” is extreme.
You need a perspective realignment.
My friend, have you ever heard of the word “hyperbole”? You should look it up.
