Airbnb has been open about its willingness to work with regulators. They are honest about the fact that they are in a grey area and would like regulators to define the rules. but they also push back to say look, Airbnb is providing a service that is missed in the market so don't be quick to just ban it because hotels hate us.

- andrewzah 6y agoOkay, then ban it (at least until tight regulations are enforced well) because locals hate it too. :-) It guess it's a bit hypocritical for me to say that as I've used airbnb to live in and visit various countries, but I also have seen how inconsiderate and downright rude short term renters can be. It's good that airbnb wants to be regulated, but bigger businesses can easily deal with tight regulations, whereas it's much harder for small newcomers. -Obviously- Airbnb will prefer policies that gain it public favor while also making it harder for competitors.
