I never considered Zippys fast food, more like a diner that hands you a menu at your table. The food doesn’t taste good since it is all frozen food that I assume is microwaved but have no qualms charging you as if they were a proper restaurant. I think they are only popular because there was nowhere to eat back then so people go there for nostalgia. If I had no choice but to go to a fast food joint, I would much rather go to a different one on the list than Zippys, it’s cheaper and tastes better but still pretty unhealthy.
I hate airbnb. I live in a place in the US that depends on tourism that also has a bad housing shortage for locals who cannot find affordable rentals. Tourists come and pay the excessive prices to stay at airbnb places that should instead be used for long term rentals to the actual residents who live here. Tourists should go to hotels which are meant for them instead of wrecking the housing market.
I spent years being homeless because the little long term rentals that open up every so often have such high prices. I have stayed at places that were unpermitted since that’s what I could afford, I cannot stress how awful it was being off-grid away from town with no transportation. No bathroom either. Power, outlets, etc. completely exposed. And when I finally got section 8 (after years of waiting for an opening and then years waiting for the selection to happen), no landlord would lower the price or even rent to someone using section 8 so I had to “network” to find someone that would let me rent with them as long as I illegally gave them extra money every month since they felt their property has more value than what section 8 covers, oh also lease says utilities included but you need to pay for your own utilities. Yeah every landlord I’ve had with section 8 has done that so far because section 8 pays more if utilities are included. We need rent control and airbnb banned asap. We are not doing OK.
