The replies make sense, and I should have realized. I guess I was thinking any deposit large enough to cover all the possibilities would be more than anyone would agree to, but I can see how it’s to both owner and guest’s advantage to make it work.
There are hotels that allow dogs in the rooms? I don’t see how that could work in the long run without requiring deposits that most people wouldn’t want to pay.
you get half an updoot for the shittymorph reference
Same here. American, not going hungry overall but can no longer afford meat. I just looked at prices for it even at a discount market and I was stunned.
But I get plenty of complete and varied protein, even cooking vegetarian. The loss of occasional meat just means I’ll face some cravings and have to stay creative with fats and spices.
That information is very widely and readily available with a basic web search. His voice was fine until (I forget) years ago when a weird illness damaged his vocal cords.
I’m sorry I have to ask, but, serious or kidding?
I get for vacation areas this is less of an issue but for places like ny city, San Francisco, etc it’s taking homes out of use.
It’s every bit as big of an issue for vacation areas / areas where tourism is the primary driver of the economy.
Take Tahoe or Mammoth Lakes for example: until the early 2010s it was still possible to move there without knowing anyone or having any other inside track, get a job (not your favorite or first choice, usually, but something to work from while you get established) and find your crappy first apartment or half-a-cabin or rundown shack or basement or ADU to rent.
That scenario is almost completely gone now and has been for ten years, plus or minus – depending on where each person sees the line that divides difficult from impossible. People making far less than a living wage now commute to both of those areas from an hour or more away. The sense of how “connected” or privileged one has to be to make it or even just scrape by in areas such as these has relentlessly risen to a level that has had an enormous impact on mental and emotional health and life outcomes in these areas too.
All of these factors were already big in the negative column balancing the very real positives of living so close to nature and preferred sporting activities, before the rise of the short term rental blight. But nowadays those negatives are practically off the meter.
holy shit. everybody should read this.
Meanwhile, what they serve at Chipotle is not worth even half of what they charge for it.
It’s a projection, naturally.
Also weird that just one of their archbishops can be described as an ally of sex abuse victims, instead of all of them.
That’s still basically a complaint about how he doesn’t get to.
I get a funny feeling that the decarbonization plans of the other 75%+ are worthless or nearly worthless in terms of actually helping humanity in any significant way with the polycrisis at hand. The very existence of a worldwide brand of anything is nowhere near sustainable.
Concrete production is one of the big culprits in climate change. But maybe this could be done with rammed earth, sustainably harvested timber, and dry-stone masonry.
I have my own photo of that same thing, took it in Chicago in 2013!
Are we sure they didn’t beam instructions into the shooter using some combination of chemtrails and HAARP?
Right, and he didn’t resign from anything, he dropped out of the race / he chose not to seek or accept the nomination.
The mayor’s pronouns are she/her. But I agree with your point, and so do a very great number of San Francisco residents. The current/upcoming mayoral election is being predictably pushed as a big fight over law and order issues by big-money organizations (a lot of the money coming from silicon valley, outside of SF) and also by corporate-owned local media. The mayor is cynically playing to that tune in her uphill battle to get reelected. As if that weren’t bad enough she had to springboard this off of a cruel Supreme court decision at a time when her constituents are mostly disgusted with the court.
when they say it comes from those 4 countries, I’m pretty sure that’s a comforting smokescreen to bury the fact that the vast majority is from slashed and burned rainforest land in Brazil.
You may have forgotten, in this party, winning is less important than pleasing the billionaires.
