Over in my parts we had a big problem of landlords jacking up rent to squeeze tenants out and list the property on Airbnb. I haven’t followed those trends in a while though. I think the turnover/cleaning cycle cut into ROI and discouraged that trend a bit.
I saw that pic too! Coffee hadn’t kicked in yet and took me a second to realize what was going on. Kids toys are so bland these days.
