I still can't tell which is happening:
1. You're trolling us with masterfully-ported prohibition-era enforcement mechanisms
2. You consider yourself a prohibitionist (of alcohol, drugs, or airbnb) and are advocating for prohibition-style responses to AirBnB.
3. You don't consider yourself a prohibitionist, and don't see how your opposition to AirBnB (and recommended enforcement mechanisms) is very similar to prohibitionists opposition to alcohol sales.
Which one sounds closest? Would you propose a 4th option?
- rightbyte 5y agoProhibitionist? Enforcing hotel regulations and zoning is not prohibiting hotels.
- wonder_er 5y agoUnless the zoning prohibits hotels.
- another-dave 5y agoLocal authorities do licence checks on pubs and bars at the moment. If there was someone illegally running a pub out of their own house it would definitely be cracked down on in this way — does that mean that we currently have "prohibition-era enforcement" on alcohol too?
- wonder_er 5y agoYep. It's prohibition-lite, but still a holdover from that era.
