Remember this!
Lodging and housing both refer to a place to live or stay, but they differ in duration, purpose, ownership, cost, and size. Lodging is temporary and for short-term stays, often rented and more expensive on a per-day basis. Housing, on the other hand, is permanent and for long-term residence, can be rented or owned, and is typically larger and more spacious.
