@Iriedawta like a normal request but everyone in the city can see it. It’s not addressed to anyone in particular, and once in a while you get that email from cs: people looking for a host in your city. This is where you also get info about public requests, and on the main page of CS.
@Patrick_Andrews, it does work - i usually get a lot of offers from hosts in big cities. You can also try sending it a bit personalised to different members as well - just be careful, some csers are crazy about getting personalised messages and that’s the only thing they’d read.
