- ceejayoz 8y agoNYC seems to have quite a bit of new development.
- et2o 8y agoActually not, compared to cities like Chicago.
- pjc50 8y agoThe community generally wants extremely restrictive building regulations. We're currently going through this in Edinburgh, which is a world heritage site as well. An extra complication here is that the communal stair wells of apartments are comunally owned, so landlords attaching keyboxes outside the door are usually violating the property rights of their neighbours.
- karzeem 8y agoIt harms communities by allowing housing inventory to flow to where the demand is most intense?
- duxup 8y agoI guess it is "housing" but I think you'd find a lot less housing as in traditional places you can rent or buy long term, I belive we're already seeing that with Airbnb. Then you've got even more housing problems.
- tptacek 8y agoNo, it harms communities by turning apartments into hotels. Hotels have externalities, which is why they're zoned.
- karzeem 8y agoDense, multi-use blocks are part of the magic of New York. And there are hotels comingled with residential buildings all over the city. I'm not saying tenants should be free to violate their agreements with landlords, but these uses of Airbnb are solving a problem that city laws have created (an extreme lack of housing and hotel supply). I blame those city laws as a root cause. Putting supply on Airbnb is just water moving around obstacles the laws have created.
