How many times do people have to be told it’s not that big of a deal and only effects a minority of people who are just butt hurt they didn’t get a room to be taken seriously? There are lots of things that shut down productive debate, gaslighting and condescension amongst them, so it should be called out, too.
I didn’t just say for emergencies. I also said renting for rare reasons, which is to mean infrequent and irregular, which is what DVC has made as their threshold.
Exactly, and if DVC would just act on something I think many of us would be assuaged so I’m hopeful these new comments and potential changes they’ve come out with means viable action and not just talk. Let’s be honest, as soon as some gets a warning letter or a reservation gets canceled it’ll be all over FB and Reddit, we’d know immediately and that might just lead to less obvious players who are potential violating the contest to be more cautious. I’m not asking DVC to police everyone. I’m hoping the reverberations of the initial shakedown are strong enough that people start self-policing.
I don’t necessarily want this either. But the alternative to do as minimal possible doesn’t seem realistic either. I agree other things are contributing,
point charts and point seasons being two, but nothing has been as influential or changed as dramatically in the last 5-8yrs as the rental scene supported by social media exploding, that’s just a fact.
Agreed, but I’d like to see some action sooner than later, preferably before the 11mo window starts for fall and holiday bookings. I think that would be a big test to see if there is even a slight ease of availability. There might not be and that would prove your point right, but we won’t know until they actually do something.
