Hello Quincy
I live in Greensboro North Carolina USA. There is not a group in my area. There is one in Winston-Salem, but that's about an hour away from me and their market is different than mine. It is a different city completely. I have asked how to create a group for Greensboro, many times. I submitted an application to airbnb to start a group and never heard anything from Airbnb. I am not super tech saavy but decent. I have a college degree in special education, I am a North Carolina licensed educator, I am also a licensed Realtor in NC and host 7 listings on Airbnb. I sit on the board of directors for the HOA for one of the properties I own and have for 7 years. I had to have four of my homes rezoned to allow the continued use as STR so I feel like I should be able to access or start a group here in Greensboro.
I get frustrated when I consistently provide airbnb with timely responses to guests and updating of my listings. I work very hard to make sure that my guest have the best experience on the Airbnb platform. I do not feel that Airbnb is respectful of my time and efforts that are making them a decent profit every year consistently. WHY oh why can I not join or start a group in Greensboro in an efficient way? WHY oh why can someone from Airbnb not just tell me how to create an airbnb sanctioned group? WHY oh why am I messaging into the same abyss over and over with feedback and calls and surveys on service .... I give this stuff for free, for the benefit of everyone on Airbnb. My time has value too... and the arrogance of corporations who expect free feedback and ask to record calls with their users for training ... I just don't understand where all the data and training is going to? I do not understand how Airbnb can be long term sustainable without even idiot users like myself understanding what in the world is going on to prevent me from creating a Greensboro NC group?
