How is that different than a tourist office providing you with addresses for nearby bed-and-breakfasts?

  My guess is that the bed and breakfasts are permitted, licensed and subject to inspection. Here's a link from a quick google search: http://www.co.shasta.ca.us/index/drm_index/eh_index/ehd_programs/housing.aspx http://www.co.shasta.ca.us/index/drm_index/eh_index/ehd_prog... "Permits are required to operate organized camps, hotels, motels, boarding homes, and bed & breakfast establishments in both the County and the cities. The purpose is to administer provisions of the State Housing Law and Health & Safety Code pertaining to the maintenance, sanitation, ventilation, and use or occupancy of residential rental facilities. Inspections are made on an annual basis. An application for a Permit to Operate is to be filed with the EHD along with the appropriate fee." I don't think it's unreasonable to insist on a difference standard for inspection and compliance once a home is converted into a commercial enterprise.

    I agree, but hadn't realised B&B were regulated.

  The non-air bed-and-breakfast industry is quoted in the article: "Had the hosts of the Texas property opted to become part of a community of more traditional B&Bs, they would have encountered a cumbersome but rigorous process, according to the Texas Bed and Breakfast Association’s executive director Connie Hall. “For new members, they are inspected with an overnight stay, and then every two years, our properties are inspected,” she says, covering everything from cleanliness to decor, and ensuring that individual rooms have a deadbolt, smoke detectors are functioning, and landscaping seems safe. “As far as the safety stuff, it’s mandatory for our members that they meet all these criteria,” adds Hall."
