But that’s exactly my point. Under the current system it’s impossible to penalize bad behavior of any kind on the part of the short term tenant, except by fining the landlord.
Whether it’s not cleaning up after a dog, or playing music too loud, or being rude in the hallway, or littering in the street.
So what’s the solution — other than pervasive tracking — that allows good people behaving well (e.g. a middle class family) to be able to find a place to stay in a nice city?

- brandonmenc 8y agoThe solution is zoning laws, which we already have. It's a solved problem. Maybe the people who actually live in these cities you want to visit have decided they don't want more tourists, and their zoning laws reflect that. You don't, like, have a "right" to affordable lodging in a city you don't pay taxes in.
