    Yeah, I wish we had such a law in my US state. But we don’t. But if they want to play those games, I’m not playing along or trying the Australian site. But around here, we do have hotel options with kitchens.

    The complaint is showing why the things in the article are happening. People are choosing hotels because they are priced out of short term rentals.

    And it depends on where you are. A standard working city, sure. A common vacation destination, it is absolutely an issue.

        Your reply “I’m happy to overpay for a kitchen” and “we don’t have that problem in Australia” wasn’t pouty?
