Such a depiction makes it easier to argue for more regulation.
Or for existing regulations to be enforced.
(There's no need to depict Airbnb skeptics as inherently "pro"-regulation, and instinctively wanting more of it).
- JoshTriplett 11y agoI'd intended that to be a broad statement: "more regulation" can mean either additional regulations or broader interpretation/enforcement of existing regulations. Either approach has the effect that anti-AirBnB folks want to see AirBnB more regulated, and AirBnB and pro-AirBnB folks want to see AirBnB less regulated.
- kafkaesq 11y agoThen there's people who just want existing regulations to be enforced in their current scope. Which, BTW, isn't an "anti"-AirBnB position at all.
- Dylan16807 11y ago>existing regulations to be enforced in their current scope Which is an increase in regulatory action from the status quo, aka "more regulation". There's no actual distinction between the two except spin.
- kafkaesq 11y agoWhich is an increase in regulatory action from the status quo, aka "more regulation" No -- "more regulation" means either added statutes or a broadened interpretation of existing statutes. To claim that having existing statutes to continue to be enforced -- i.e. to maintain the status quo -- when there's an uptake in violations against those statutes means that one is somehow advocating for "more regulation" is just... weird.
- Dylan16807 11y agoThe status quo is largely-absent enforcement. It would be weird to use the term "more" if it was fully enforced right now, but it's not.

- kafkaesq 11y agoThe status quo is largely-absent enforcement. Aside from the fact that you have no data or sources to support this contention (it's just hunch you have), your logic is incredibly convoluted here.
- Dylan16807 11y agoJust about every article talks about how hosts are violating the law on a massive scale. Making them stop is "more regulation", it's pretty simple logic. It doesn't matter which branch of government is doing it.
- kafkaesq 11y agoMaking them stop is "more regulation", it's pretty simple logic. But broken logic. And pretty much a repeat of where were at 6-8 levels up from here.
- Dylan16807 11y agoI guess we have completely different definitions of "regulation" then. I include statues and actions, you only count statutes. It's okay if you disagree, but my logic is not at all convoluted.
