I do see some difference. I might agree that there should be a difference between a person who owns a property primarily for their own use and rents on Airbnb and someone who owns a property primarily for renting on Airbnb. One is more commercial, and one is more personal. But Airbnb hosts seem to be taking advantage of legal grey areas. Airbnb is directly competing with the hotel industry, but they are claiming those industry regulations don't apply to them. I'm not saying that they are necessarily doing anything illegal or definitely acting unethically. But I do think that they are operating in some legal grey areas, so it's not overreaching to try to increase or change how regulations apply to them.
