So the short term rentals market (Airbnb and similar) is going to collapse soon.

It was already doing badly, and I am sure the lack of #tourism isn't gonna help.

2 million properties are predicted to hit the #housing market, which will sink housing A TON, and that is not accounting for the lack of tourism. So likely more.

Though unless it out paces our GDP crash, and rising inflation-

Dunno if it will help.

Screw short term rentals. THEY WERE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

"Let’s imagine the economy tanks. People lose their jobs, Social Security, and benefits. The government becomes dysfunctional and stagnant. There’s a health crisis due to rising cases of measles, bird flu, and a resurgence of a new COVID variant. America becomes isolated as our allies turn from us and tourism tanks."

@slothrop Having been to Vienna, I strongly second this.

The metro trains run every 5 minutes or better, and likewise trams. They're incredibly punctual.

And no, Americans reading this, that's not a typo.

Almost every destination you'll want to see is either near a metro station or a tram stop.

Belvedere palace? Tram stop. Schonbrunn palace? Metro. St Stephen's Cathedral/Stephensplatz? Metro. Museum district? Metro.

Many parts of the city centre have been pedestrianised.

But aside from all that, especially if you're from the US, Venna almost certainly has better public transport than your hometown.

And I think part of the Vienna experience is being in a city with world-class public transport.
