News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I’m surprised how many people have disagreed without taking the time to explain why.
I’m shitposting because I think houses should house people and not be a hotel?
I asked you to continue to reply in the thread, and that I did not want to DM with you.
In other words "I can't troll real well in DMs"
Why would I have a private conversation with someone I don’t know?
Houses should be houses, not hotels.
It’s pretty simple and if I have to say the same thing to you again I will.
They're already using it as a house.
I have a finished basement. I could fit a bed down here. Am I somehow obligated to let somebody live here? You sound like a teenager.
Do you Airbnb it out?
I slept on a pull out bed in a mate's living room once so I guess that should be converted into a separate dwelling.
Excellent reading comprehension.
If I wanted to that still doesn't mean I am obligated to be a landlord.
If you Airbnb’d it out you would be a landlord.
Houses should be used by home owners as they see fit a long as it isn't endangering anyone. Houses shouldn't be purchased as an investment to solely be used as hotels.
Isn't this contradicting yourself already?
Some people own more than one house, and perpetually rent those properties out via sites like Airbnb.
So we have:
Buying a property that you don't intend to live in, so that you can rent it out to other people as a short term let.
Buying a property that you live in, and occasionally renting out a spare room as a short-term let while you continue to occupy the property.
These are not the same.
They literally say "Houses should be used by home owners as they see fit a long as it isn’t endangering anyone." but "Houses shouldn’t be purchased as an investment to solely be used as hotels." which isn't what you are saying there.
I'm surprised you expect anyone to take you seriously with that name
Implying anyone's name is taken more seriously than another. Are you serious?
I don’t.
