I vote that the troll be silenced.

I am very tempted. But because we are so nice at this forum, 
, I prefer to give plenty of rope, hoping for the desired effect.
However, my patience only stretches so far…

Fingers crossed that she’s reclaimed her computer. 
But it’s so much more entertaining to watch them hang themselves.

I especially get a kick out of the ones who come here pretending to be hosts, trying to sell some product or pick hosts’ brains for their blog content (and their great idea for an indispensible new hosting resource is usually something that is already available or useless).
Then, when told that their advertising isn’t allowed here, and that falsely proclaiming to be a host isn’t okay, they claim that they are really just trying to “help” hosts. As if they expect hosts to respond, “Oh, well in that case, we truly appreciate your selfless dedication.”

They are fun, that’s true. However, so are the ones who are trolls for trolling’s sake. They are often kids and their dreadful spelling and grammar gives the game away.

Gee, ya think?! Few AirBnB hosts compete w/ Glamping Hub or Hip Camp, they’re totally different entities. I could see a few Air hosts being able to host on Glamping Hub, but it’s been my experience w/ Hip Camp that there’s no competition.
My bookings have also been down since 2023, also due to our local market being over saturated. I have gotten one reservation since Jan 20, & the bad press just keeps coming. Yes, foreign tourists are scared to come to the states, rightfully so. Our usual Ntl Park visitors are not coming, because the parks are in shambles. Personally, I have cancelled a yearly trip to Ntl. Parks due to the disarray they’re in. It’s a shit show, pardon my French!
I just keep on keeping on, & hopefully things will even out. I’m glad I don’t count on my Air income to pay the bills…
Omg, I feel for you! What a conundrum. I must ask, what is “spalling”, as I’ve never heard the term?
The buildings are made of concrete and we’re just across the street from the ocean. Over the years the concrete starts to degrade. Because the buildings are 4 stories, a giant machine/lift has to be brought in that has a platform for the workers to stand on to tackle removing the degrading concrete and patching it up - cracks, pocks, and chunks.
The internet says: Concrete replacement is the best option for repairing spalled concrete and ensuring a long-lasting repair. This involves removing the damaged concrete and pouring fresh concrete in its place.
