I blame Airbnb and I suggest we hold them accountable because they are the ones enabling people to rent out short-term in areas that were planned as residential. Hotels are properly regulated, but AirBnb is profiting off circumventing the existing (good, working) rules on where tourist hotels are to be located. And they are not a neutral marketplace because many people would not rent a room from a random stranger without the guarantees that Airbnb claims to provide. If eBay were to offer warranty on legal gray-area arms deals, you'd hold them accountable, too, I presume. So why treat Airbnb's legal gray-area rentals any better?
