Municipalities are lazy. Instead of doing their research and suing individual owners, which they should be doing as those are the folks not paying taxes, they look for the aggregators like AirBnb which are a big target and sue them instead. As someone who pays my taxes it is very annoying to have another body step in and muck it all up. AirBnb is notorious for collecting the wrong taxes and poorly reporting the taxes they do collect.
