Airbnb is just a platform. Its users break laws. Just like there are bad landlords for long term rent, same is here only for the short term. The problem is landlords that break laws and turn homes into hotels etc.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThat's a cop out. AirBnB as a platform introduces systemic problems that weren't there before (effect of scale matters), exploits them in full knowledge of their impact on people, and does nothing to stop them.
- risyachka 7y agoI agree that they should not exploit the problems and fix them, but saying that they should go broke is not a solution, as it will often do more harm than good.
