In my experience, yep!

Wow. Itās scary to think that youāre right, but I think you are. I worked a few summers in Yosemite at the Lodge and at the Ahwahnee and boy did I see it all.

LOL. There are no atheists where ghetto neighbors are concerned. 
No offense to the non-athiests here.
I still say prayers of gratitude that the meth head karaoke drummers two doors down moved out. Incredibly no guest ever mentioned the godawful racket at all hours or his yelling at us, saying he was going to give us something to remember them by by spraying paintballs at our houses. Thank god they moved back to āSpo-Kompton.ā
No offense to those in Compton or Spokane. I am sure there are nice sections of those cities.
Jeepers I thought I had it bad here! lol! What a mess! The only consolation is that they wonāt be there long. I canāt comfort myself with that prospect here because these people OWN and aināt going anywhere in a loooooong time.
Very very amusing! Love it. Also, I didnāt realize Spokane was home to those type of people. I live fairly near Compton here in SoCal and it doesnāt really look that badāin the daytime! I have a work friend who recently bought a home in a nicer section. She got a lot more house with her $, but sheās not sending her kids to the local school. Itās a pretty rough scene.
Iāve never accurately calculated it but I think that at least half my guests donāt have English as their first language. (My current guests are from the Ukraine). Iāve never had any guests complain or even mention that I donāt provide TV in French, Dutch, German, Russian or whatever.
You can probably imagine what Iād say to them if they did

What, really!??? To escape the hungry guest??
Iām staying at a Airbnb at the mo in Edinburgh and they have a gorgeous kitty. Itās why we stay at Airbnbs. I donāt want the same same of premier inns, travel lodges, motel 6 etc etc. some people donāt get that and for them itās all about just the cost. Which is a bit sad.

I like the chair as well.
Oh heās gone. I canāt wait to see his review. Just to escape the noise from the dogs and to just hang out. Now the one on the corner in the cage is barking; once about every 3 or 4 minutes. Ugh.
Gosh, I hear you and have soooooo been there. Itās awful. I thank my stars now, because our street is blissfully quiet except for the ghetto tenants one and they should be moving soon. But there were times when we had barking dogs galore on this street, plus the parrot and the drummer. Truly hellacious. I donāt know what the answer is and truly, the dogs are not happy either. They should be walked to avoid all the boredom and anxiety which causes the chronic barking.
Aināt gonna happen here, the walking and tending to. People go to work or wherever. This is dog hell, Long Beach, CA. As Iāve mentioned, everyone has at least 1 if not 2 or 3 dogs. Itās reaching critical mass because itās affecting the quality of life for so many who donāt speak up.
my dog does not bark when Iām gone. If she did I would get a collar. I wouldnāt do that to my neighbors. The one time she did bark, the neighbors texted me and it turned out the cat was inside chasing her around. Cat out, dog peace again.
Not sure what you can do or where you can turn. Pretty awful.
as in foxholes??? !! lol

Yes. Um, if she is to be believed she spent 8550 on an Airbnb recently. And that was without cleaning and tax!
If she really has that kind of money, then what the heck is she doing slumming with the rest of us for $85 a night?

And during that time, she wasnāt available to meet and greet her own guests or attend to their needs. Tut tut.

We get mostly American guests because we are in New England.
Plenty of Americans are wonderful guests but there are some cities and areas that seem to be nothing but trouble for us.
At one point we actually included a note in the listing saying; āif you are from Arlington MA or Westchester NY, or from Philadelphia, you should book elsewhere. We have never had a guest from those cities who was happy here.ā
If we were completely honest, weād include California on that list. Weāve had 1. count 'em, ONE good guest from California.
Weāre Superhosts, we get tons of good reviews. I am not picking on anyone, in over 200 guests, the ones I would absolutely not have back are the ones from the upper-class suburbs of Boston and Philadelphia.
and wealthy Californians. bleh

Tomorrowās guests are two families: 1 from Granby, CT and another from upstate NY - looks like an area code in the Manhattan area - I really hope this doesnāt turn into snob cityā¦oh and there are indoor gnats if you donāt keep it at bay! I only pray the current guests arenāt allowing it to spiral out of control.

Funnyā¦ I just bought a condo in Arlington as a co-owner. I will remind my daughter to use my address when booking a place on AirBNB. Really funnyā¦ until recently Arlington was a no-buy town, and then something wild and crazy happened and the entire town is filling with entitled, high-earners.
