> When I need 3 adjoining bedrooms and a space that will take dogs, a hotel is going to cost an absolute fortune in comparison or be actually impossible to find.
Board your dogs at home.
It's impossible to penalize dog owners for not cleaning up after themselves when they're skipping town in a few days.
This is why zoning laws prohibit renting in residential areas - because you can't threaten people who don't live there into good behavior, because they're not around long enough to actually be punished.
But that’s exactly my point. Under the current system it’s impossible to penalize bad behavior of any kind on the part of the short term tenant, except by fining the landlord.
Whether it’s not cleaning up after a dog, or playing music too loud, or being rude in the hallway, or littering in the street.
So what’s the solution — other than pervasive tracking — that allows good people behaving well (e.g. a middle class family) to be able to find a place to stay in a nice city?
