Awesome idea! It would be great if airbnb did something like this... They already have the infrastructure in place, they could support NGOs etc and probably get a tax break!

This could be interesting. How much does a refugee cost? Will this refugee clean my house, cook dinner and tend to my garden? Do I need to interact with it or can I put my refugee in a separate part of the mansion?

I would like to see the US step up its process to accept refugees.

Currently it takes 18 to 24 months for refuges to be able to get on a plane the US. The US has agreed to accept up to 70k refugees yet at this rate it will take for ever while Germany has hundreds of new refuges per day.

They have done something similar. In Australia they partnered with a local government to provide accommodation in an emergency.

But seeing AirBnB do something for refugees would be great.

It's sad that you've created an account just to make this comment.

We don't have space for this kind of sh*t you're posting
