    If you are still an AirBnB host, in October 2026…

    There are a whole lot of things such a person has yet to realize.

    We can start with wait, I’m not the main character of reality itself?

    Followed by, wait, housing prices can go down? and interest rates can go up?

    Then they’ll be learning all about how foreclosure works.

      Bought my house a few years ago, would love to see prices drop. Ideally gradually rather than a sudden crash though. Like if they just stagnate in absolute value and inflation eats away at the labour required to pay for them, that would be great.

      Higher minimum wage, static house prices. I see a lot of the middle class crying about minimum wage going up here, I say fuck em. Bring on a living wage for all!

      Quick edit - currently rumoured to be that minimum wage will be rising £13.20 (17.50USD).
