Good Things Friday (268) and Link Love
April 12, 2024
Howww did it get to be Friday already??
Not that I’m not grateful, I’m glad whenever any week is over, but it has certainly been A WEEK.
I’ve been hunting for a backup fancy dress for an upcoming event and friends on Discord have been so helpful!

Hawaii could ban short-term vacation rentals for good: The divisive proposals pit short-term investment property owners and online platforms, like Airbnb and VRBO, against housing advocates and hotels, who will benefit from the bills. It would also redefine where travelers can stay when visiting the Islands.
I was surprised to read that NYC has banned short-term rentals for periods shorter than a month. That seems like a good middle ground – as much as I don’t love staying in hotels, especially if I’m traveling with friends, I think things have gotten WAY out of hand with local residents losing tons of living spaces in favor of the short-term market.
Agreed, I wish we had more big group options but long term housing availability is more important than my occasional travel wants.
