That Airbnb take responsibility for its service offering end-to-end, in this case the key exchange. From the article it's obvious the company has no ethics and has tried to cover up shoddy/lax business practices from the beginning, so another alternative that could have helped is Airbnb being liable for damages in the millions/billions until they learn their lesson, or fold if they don't. Oh, it might also have been helpful to not wait two years to hear about this, but as we all know, those who use NDAs are always the best of people/organizations.

Do you feel the same moral indignation about crimes committed in hotels? Here are NYC stats from 2017: > In 2017, there were 2,656 hotel crimes reported city-wide, compared to 2,223 in 2015, a 19.5-percent increase... This includes felony assaults, which soared 51.9 percent, from 81 to 122, and third-degree assaults, which jumped 38 percent, from 255 to 352. How much should the hotel where the 2017 Las Vegas shootings be liable for? https://nypost.com/2018/06/04/crime-in-nyc-hotels-has-skyrocketed-in-recent-years/ https://nypost.com/2018/06/04/crime-in-nyc-hotels-has-skyroc...
- okprod 5y agoDo you feel the same moral indignation about crimes committed in hotels? Yes. Sorry, I would share stats about Airbnb crimes with you but the company keeps most secret by paying people off. Second, if you want Airbnb compared to hotels, then the firm should be paying all applicable hotel/rental taxes and following all respective hotel regulations, but they don't because Airbnb markets itself as a "platform". A trivial issue is I don't know of a hotel in New York that would have the key exchange be at a bodega.
