Lincoln among top Airbnb destinations for cfb

[SickOfPractice]

I guess this mildly surprised me as we haven't been relevant in cfb rankings for quite awhile. Must be other factors, like Lincoln is a safe family destination? Memorial Stadium is still thought to be one of the great cathedrals of cfb? The friendly nature of Husker Nation?

"According to Airbnb, it has seen a 25% increase in searches for rooms in Lincoln ahead of Saturday’s game, which is also Labor Day weekend.

Lincoln is one of the most popular college football destinations for renters, including cities such as Tallahassee, Eugene, and Knoxville.

The city has hundreds of Airbnb rentals, but almost all are booked for this weekend."

Rooms fill up in Lincoln, one of Airbnb renters’ top college football destinations

The football season is here, and data show that people are looking to visit Lincoln.

I use Air BnB everytime I come into town for a game. You can often stay in a nice place for 300 to 400 less than any downtown Lincoln hotel.

We have been burned so bad last 3 times we did airbnb i just don't know if i could ever do it again. One of those times was our honeymoon to a cool lil cabin in the woods in the Black Hills. Host literally accused us of stealing items from her cabin. Last one was a super shitty neighborhood in a 115 y/o home in DesMoines with sooo many probs I cant list em all. All I know is I was glad I had my pistol on that trip....glad others have had success with it though.

Why do I see airbnb cleaning fees of $300-$500. Is that real?

Probably a super low daily rate so they appear at the top of a search, then they bomb you with that shit.

That’s good news. My aunt has an air bnb you described out there, but there are probably hundreds.

That sucks you’ve had shitty luck. I recommend only the highest rated ones but you might pay a little more.

AirBnBs suck. Can’t wait until they are outlawed so “investors” have to go get real jobs 🤣

Yes, that’s real. Plus they will make you do chores like load the dishwasher, take out the trash, pull the sheets off the bed and load washing machine.

AirBnB is by poors, for poors

Yeah, this has become a huge thing now.

I have only done AirBnB once. It was okay. I suppose if you have a big group of people I can see where it would make sense but I would rather stay in a hotel.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

not a fan of anything that contributes to home shortages or rising home costs for the average family, but i'm a huge fan of capitalism so I'll allow it

They are outlawed in the more socialist cities 😉 great places I hear

I wouldn’t call Florida socialist. We just don’t like our neighbors turning their properties into short term rentals. Get a real job Someday

Using government programs and 30 year mortgages meant for home owner-occupied for profit is not capitalism.

What would you call greater government intervention telling you what you can and can’t do with your own property if not liberalism/fascism/socialism? Even if Florida is not a socialist state, that is absolutely a socialist component of it.

I own a specialty contracting business outside of my rentals that is very much a real job. 🛠️ 😎

Wheeew. Thank God I don’t have a mortgage. I guess I’m doing capitalism 😁

Meh....gray area. I see your point, but don't consider that a big enough deal to draw a line in the sand over. I've cut to many similar corners....and for the record, i'm not a fan of the vrbo's and air bnb's BTW, for the exact reasons you mention, and the reasons i mentioned, but i hate over regulation even more. If people want to take the risk, they deserve the reward, and I hope those doing it who have mortgages, get caught doing it or have a huge loss they aren't properly insured for and lose their ass.
