It is typically impossible to know whether it's a silly thread before you read. And upon reading, they found that the first comment makes absolutely no sense, which is true. You're complaining about cash prices rising.

Many towns are seeing what little housing inventory that is available snatched up for AirBnb.

The real solution is for these Hudson Valley / Upstate towns and cities to approve massive building programs of all housing/accommodation. Homebuilders should be building new single family housing, apartment builders should be building new apartments for rent and condors for sale, hotel developers should get permits to build new hotels, and yes, investors should be allowed to build new, fit for purpose vacation rentals.

Yeah! That way NYC people can go from crowding and pollution to crowding and pollution, all while emitting a ton of carbon to do so!
