This just reminds me of Uber - same clash of ideologies between those whon see empowerment of people through new technology and those who see unfair advantage through breaking the law. The problem is that both sides are right. Both Uber and AirBnB provide better/new service through new technology where the incumbents usually didn't bother to inovate and banning them would be backwards. But both also profit from not being subjected to the same regulations - and this is what we should be discussing. While some regulations add value - fire safety standards etc - other are just disguised taxes - why should taxi licences be auctioned for the price of a family house?
