Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

    Renters rights legislation with enough teeth to make present and perspective landlords, both corporate and individual, think twice before not taking care of a property as though they lived there? (

    Isn’t it mostly an issue on the US side of the pond (and in other third worlds countries). I believe that most European countries have minimum standards regarding renter right, it’s not perfect (and reality is that changing a furnace takes weeks). But every time I read about US feel likes dystopia.

      Over here in Portugal there’s the European legislation, but whether if it is enforced or not is another story. Some places get ridiculous, and I’d imagine that happens all over Europe too.

      I have been seeing reporting from and have had friends in Australia and New Zealand who have been sharing that it is actually much worse down there than it is in the US. Apparently in NZ most of the legislature is made up of landlords, so the laws are particularly egregious and abusive.
