Life could change at any moment and even those who feel secure could be left homeless. It's what we learnt in New York - you're one missed rent payment away from the streets.
I've loved being an aurbnb host over the past 6 years - first in Katoomba, then Wodonga and now here in Portland NSW. Totally get what you're saying about the operators taking advantage but that wasn't the case in my situation. I've hosted over 2,000 stays and have over 1,000 reviews, so it's kept me busy !!
Bravo. Our government brings shame to our name. All Australians should have a roof over their heads.

I'm travelling now in Spain and had no problems , with some internet research, finding Apartments/Studios from Owners.
I dont use Airbnb, sometimes VRBO, linked to many sites, such as UK Home Away..
With search engines , there are many possibilities, Google maps etc.
I have had very nice apartments in Malaga, for 3 weeks, Cadiz 4 days,and Jerez 4 days, now Trujillo.
Some local tourist offices have lists, you can write in advance.
AIRBNB seem to harass you the moment you make an inquiry.
Thanks .
Thanks for the tips, John. There's life without Airbnb.

It's the investment firms taking advantage, not the individual hosts. It sounds like you enjoy hosting and your guests enjoy you!
Good piece, good values. Keep up the good fight!
Thanks Robyn.
