- cwilkes 10y agoWhat's the feedback loop for someone that lives next to a place being rented out on AirBnB?
- orasis 10y agoIf there is a loud party, call the cops.
- bsder 10y agoAnd when the cops are getting called every week what happens? Congratulations. You just invented "zoning laws".
- jhall1468 10y agoNothing, as long as the participants aren't violating the law. Much in the same way that you don't get any input on how long my grass is, unless it happens to be a fire hazard.
- blackbagboys 10y agoActually, to the contrary, through things like town ordinances and homeowner's associations it is very likely that you do get to have input on how long your neighbor's grass is
- c22 10y agoI got fined by the city once for "harboring rodents" because my neighbor felt my grass was too long (and was also a dick).
- jhall1468 10y agoMy city has an ordinance for a fire hazard. It's established as a specific length. My neighbor does not get input on that, it either is, or is not, a violation of the city ordinance.
- bsder 10y ago> What people are discovering is that tech + crowdsourced feedback loop is better than gov regulation. Feedback loop is faster, more thorough, and more reliable. You have very little evidence that this is true. And anecdotal data suggests that explicit "social ranking" introduces a whole host of other problems. See: the kerfuffle about AirBnB and renting to minorities.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoWhat people still fail to discover though, is that "crowdsourced feedback loop" is very vulnerable to companies with lots of money to spend on the so-called "growth hacking".
