• Doesn't it also boast the highest unemployment level in the province?

    Clearly more tfws from india are needed to fill the "labour shortage"!

    They're already on their way. Put the kettle on.

    11% unemployment right now

    Buttt buuutt there’s a shortage of worker! Says a liberal somewhere

  • It’s because it was a haven for speculators buying Airbnb units and now the landchads need a bailout so they don’t have to pay for their reckless financial decisions

  • Oh no, all those places that are going to go up in a bonfire due to an errant spark due to the shoddy construction of said places are not able to get their rent payments due to being overpriced in an already overpriced market to begin with? Say it isn't so!? Whatever shall we do?

    Oh, give a fuck?

    Nope.

  • I think I read the other day that Kelowna will allow Airbnb again to tackle high vacancy. 

    A local MLA wants the province to reverse the short term rental ban in Kelowna. The province has ignored this request.

    Good.

    There should not ever be such a thing as a 'short term rental'.

    If you need a place to live for only a month or two, tops; go get a fucking hotel.

    If you should ever find yourself needing medical service out of town one day I hope you end up stuck in a fucking hotel room for 3 months. Enjoy paying a fortune for a room with a kitchenette that is a hotplate and microwave and fridge lol. 

    Never understand people who are so goddamn unhappy in society that they need to limit what others enjoy. I love air bnb, some of the best travel memories I have. Super unique and fun. Housing is still super expensive in Kelowna British Columbia with all the bans and taxes for short term rentals, speculation taxes (empty homes), and foreign buys taxes.
