An Airbnb I stayed at in Tokyo was just across from Sugamo JR Station, a train station very close to the heart of Tokyo, which saved us around 51,250 JPN (500 USD) in accommodation. Despite it's convenience, it was very compact and not the most spacious of living arrangements, with a small futon area to sleep and the smallest of bathroom space. However, an additional benefit to using an Airbnb is that you tend to have extra amenities like your own kitchen and washing space - things that aren't available in your average hotel or hostel, as well as portable wifi and a mini television. Although compact, the apartment has exactly what you needed and cut the accommodation costs by half. This alone allows you to cut back on restaurant spending by being able to buy groceries for your apartment, souvenirs, tourist attractions, and other

The financial situation I see myself in consists of sharing a rented apartment with one other person—likely my sister or a close friend—and working at Badcock Home Furniture & More with an income around $14 an hour. Additionally, I imagine I would have a small side income based on my artistic works, but it wouldn’t not be too large due to the time each piece would take to create alongside a 40-hour work week. I do not imagine either myself or my roommate owning a pet or using cable television, and I know whoever I would room with would remain fairly frugal with their money. Furthermore, renting an apartment would reduce many of the expenses of living in a house, such as home improvement, repairs, and gardening. My cellphone plan is still under

In order to understand our statistical data, we must first accurately grasp the definitions of gentrification and displacement. Gentrification means a demographic or physical change that conforms to the middle class. The financial definition of middle class means that a single individual or household makes between $50k-120k annually. Uniquely, displacement is the removal of something or someone by something else that takes their place. In our case, looking at gentrification in the San Francisco area within the last 10 years will possibly birth an explanation as to why Artist displacement is/was on the rise.

Having a value of over $10 billion, Airbnb “exceeds that of well-established global hotel chains like Hyatt” (Hospitality Net). This proves that this online service is significantly surpassing these stable hotel chains that have been competing in the industry for over 60 years.
