Mickpl wrote that during the Senate's work on the bill regulating Airbnb rentals, there was lobbying from three foundations. According to him, these organizations demanded a change in the definition of hotel services, which would allow funds that had announced plans to build hotels but ultimately built rental apartments to avoid paying a 23% VAT. The author noted that the argument raised was the possible negative effects on students. In his opinion, this referred to individuals renting rooms in private dormitories for 3,000 PLN. He added that signing lease agreements could provide tenants with protection, and the status of students was not to be verified. Mickpl indicated that comments could be submitted regarding print number 863, as well as concerning the cooperatives he had written about earlier. #airbnb #ustawa #wynajem (translated)

The fan user Trunks claimed that the person he was addressing had been forced to wear a fake beard and to undergo jaw surgery, and that their friends had used their house as an Airbnb accommodation. He also maintained that that environment had severely harmed their performance and that now they had a new opportunity by distancing themselves from it. #Oportunidad #Autoestima #Cambio (translated)

The human resource claimed that politicians did not regulate Airbnb because they knew that people from the so-called "discussing class" are closely linked to the real estate market, so the media would not raise this issue. He added that those who tell others how to live do not have housing problems themselves, and no one represents the poor. #Airbnb #Polityka #Mieszkalnictwo (translated)

Mickpl wrote that after the stir caused by the regulations prohibiting Airbnb in cooperatives adopted by the Sejm, he checked which other resolutions of the cooperatives required a quorum of half of their members. The list he presented did not include any items. #sejm #airbnb #spółdzielnie (translated)

If you want to get an idea of what things look like now in mathematics, imagine a hunter-gatherer who has spent his entire life learning to survive deep in a merciless tropical forest, and then right next to him appears a giant resort hotel with a helicopter pad, heated pools, and Airbnb," writes Scott Aaronson, chair of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. #математокалипсис #изкуственинтелект #математика (translated)

The author wrote that properties they described as stolen from Palestinians could one day be advertised on Booking.com and Airbnb.

The Ministry of Underdevelopment and Technophobia wrote that PiS MP Anna Paluch voted together with the Civic Coalition to take away the rights of housing cooperatives to decide on banning rentals through Airbnb. The account also stated that Paluch had occupied a municipal apartment of about 38 m² in Krościenko nad Dunajcem since the 1990s, paying a rent of about 116 zł per month — according to data for 2023. The author pointed out that the MP earned about 20,000–25,000 zł per month from parliamentary income and was building a house. #polityka #mieszkania #Airbnb (translated)

Deweloperuch.pl wrote that the Sejm rejected an amendment which, according to the author, would have given members of housing cooperatives greater influence in prohibiting short-term rentals in their buildings. The author claimed that the adopted regulations would require support from half of all members of the cooperative, not just half of the participants at the general meeting. As an example, he mentioned the Warsaw Housing Cooperative, which he estimates has around 27,000 members. This would mean the need to gather 13,500 people, which Deweloperuch.pl deemed virtually impossible. He added that it would only take half the votes of those present at the general meeting to dissolve the cooperative. The author argued that the regulations would make it difficult for residents to block short-term rental activities, and their effects would be felt in many older parts of cities and tenement houses. He also wrote that the amendment was proposed by politicians from Poland 2050, the Left, and the Together Party, but it was rejected by the votes of the Civic Coalition, PSL, and the Confederation. According to Deweloperuch.pl, the regulations will deliberately limit the ability of cooperatives to prohibit such rentals. #spółdzielnie #mieszkalnictwo #polityka (translated)

The Ministry of Underdevelopment and Technophobia wrote that residents of cooperatives wishing to remove Airbnb from their buildings would have to rent a stadium. It stated that the amendment aimed at preventing this provision was rejected by the votes of the Civic Coalition, PSL, and Confederation, and described the provision itself as "idiotic." #Airbnb #Mieszkania #Polska (translated)

Mickpl wrote that the Sejm rejected the amendment that would eliminate the requirement for a quorum of half the members of the entire cooperative to ban rentals through Airbnb. He added ironically that the residents of the cooperative may be forced to rent a nearby stadium for voting. https://t.co/2qO0I3x6fa #Sejm #airbnb #spółdzielnia (translated)
