Silly little hipsters with nothing better to do ~ this is really newsworthy?
- brownbat 11y agoI can take or leave the people's court story. I mostly found it interesting for this para: "The situation also reveals a Catch-22 created by San Francisco’s new laws regulating short-term rentals. Entire-home rentals are limited to 90 days a year and must be occupied by a permanent resident. Huang switched to rentals of 30 days or more since those are legal. That’s a decision that other local landlords have also made. But by requiring longer stays, landlords run the risk of the temporary visitors gaining permanent renters’ rights." New businesses lead to new regulation. New regulations lead to unintended consequences. Unintended consequences lead businesses to look for new disruptive solutions... Does that cycle repeat or is that overly simplistic?
