    sure, I wouldn’t say no if airbnb instituted a global 2-address-per-person policy 🤝

    but not everyone’s “inhospitable for over half the year” is the same, I know more than one person whose local community has been basically destroyed by second home owners, there were plenty of people wanting to live in those places full-time but they were priced out.

      I didn’t mean inhospitable lightly - there are lots of beach houses that are literally unsafe to live in outside of beach season

      With global warming and hurricanes and lack of basic utilities, it’s probably not worth trying to move people there
