What are you trying to say actually here? How is this "deserving" in any way? He worked, he got an apartment to make some extra cash and that's about it. I know plenty of people doing this since I was a child, Airbnb or not.
That maybe housing, a basic human need that too often goes unfulfilled in a supposedly developed country, shouldn't be an investment?
I mean, I can think of people even more deserving, but in the end, charging 3 grand per month for what looks like a room with at least one code violation should be considered some kind of moral failing.
