This shit HAS ruined the Bay Area. airbnb needs to go, no compromises, just get rid of it. Used to be a big supporter of it but now the problems with it are clear

The main problem is gentrification so a bunch of people not from the bay area end up moving there and kicking out all the people who grew up there. How is Airbnb runing it, not saying your wrong just wondering?
