For everyone wondering how much the White House could rent for on Airbnb (132 bedrooms/35 bathrooms). $157,920/week https://www.eliotandme.com/estimator?address=white+house%20&...
Lincoln bedroom @ https://whitehouse.gov1.info/visit/index.html 400$ / night. So 7 * 400 * 132 = 369,000 / week. Making that's a hefty bulk discount ;-) PS: And yes this is a parody.

#53Curious to see how it relates to the mortgage of some houses.
However, I think that's unrealistic, I believe the demand for my house would be extremely low at that price point. My house is very appealing for residents, I don't see it being particularly appealing for travelers and there's cheaper options for travelers.
My neighborhood is zoned residential, however, so I seriously doubt turning it into a hotel would be legal. My neighbors would complain as well (and that's nothing against them)

> We regret to announce that the "White House Overnight Guest Program" will no longer continue under the Trump Administration due to the repeal of the Obama Administration's openness and transparency doctrine. You are welcome, however, to make a reservation to stay at the 5-star Trump International Hotel just down the street.
The $400 a night is per double occupancy though, so really it's only $200 per head.
EDIT: Ok, it's a parody. Shame! :(

It is interesting how language morphs over time. Some people will be quite opposed to grammatical errors taking root.
But language has a tendency to not only accept those errors as dual-truths, but eventually replace those errors as sole truths!
This is to the point where "you and I" sounds stunted, overly formal and archaic, compared to "you and me", in my opinion.

#57I found this to be really inaccurate. I've been a host of an Airbnb for a few years. I've slowly moved my price up until I hit the maximum 70£/day. I have hundreds of positive reviews. The price the website suggested was 120£. I then went in to put an obscure address where there is no demand, and the price was $140/day. I've rented a hotel in the area for $30/day.
$30? Where is such a place, Siberia?

#58There's no way a 4BR/3B house in Las Vegas (Summerlin, to be exact) is going for 1500 a week. Nice try, though.

Most likely yes, but that didn't stop 23andme.com haha :) It is interesting how language morphs over time. Some people will be quite opposed to grammatical errors taking root.

"Eliot and me gave it to him," is not.
"He gave it to Eliot and I," would be an example of hypercorrection.
