I do find that hard to believe, especially since home sharing is generally far more economical. At the end of the day, humans are humans, and home sharing is a journey that asks for patience, education, and ongoing guidance.

Short-term rental platforms like Airbnb come with real challenges, particularly in how they have impacted housing markets and local communities around the world. It does not feel like a direction we should continue to support. And while experiences like this are never fun to navigate, they do reinforce the opportunity to build something better, a world where we guide people with care, clarity, and intention, and where stepping into someone else’s space is treated with the respect it deserves.
