Airbnb offers temporary housing to people impacted by Los Angeles wildfires

Comments

It’s limited. Had a coworker of mine call at least 3 separate times to be on hold for hours only to be hung up on as soon as it was their turn :/

What houses does Airbnb own??? And why?? And how??? My advice? Move into the Airbnb and stay there. Permanently.

mmwritessf.bsky.social•46 days ago

They don't own them. Airbnb owners offer up their houses, and Airbnb waives all fees.

So AirBNB not actually contributing anything - not their properties.

mmwritessf.bsky.social•46 days ago

They don't own any properties.

superwiki.bsky.social•46 days ago

exactly - so why are people tweeting that "Air BnB are offering accommodation to people" ?

mmwritessf.bsky.social•46 days ago

They’re waiving all their fees. And it’s a program through Airbnb.

Airbnb cant offer housing because Airbnb doesn't own any.

drfsuper.center•46 days ago

I was gonna say, where are they getting houses from?

I didn’t know Airbnb owned houses.

They own thousands in Australia so they would probably own a lot in the US they’ve destroyed our rental market so it’s nice to see them giving back to communities 😊

For the duration of this we haven't heard any "church" offer to reach out to people -- by way of any kind of assistance. I would like to see them take a more active role. People are going to require support mechanisms & HOPE. Where are they? -ONE.⛪

I'm glad AirBnB is supporting the displaced. That's all we can do in the moment. But as the recovery begins we need to have a long, hard talk with California's White voters about #ManagedRetreat https://bsky.app/profile/adreanalangston.bsky.social/post/3lfazwk7sas2q

We must follow Montana’s lead; start suing our state governments to protect us from climate change:

Will Turo step up and offer free car rentals? They could use some positive media.

So this and the planet fitness thing… I love it. I really do. I’d give them more credit if they offered their facilities (even temporarily) to homeless people every other day of the year.

*takes a sudden interest in squatters rights*

I like how you think!

wisecup.bsky.social•46 days ago

Was this before or after they refused to refund people who booked houses that were burned down

leftlense.bsky.social•46 days ago

Knowing them, prolly after.

bignaps.bsky.social•46 days ago

Stay out of those houses...they all need to burn.
