According to comments, seems like airbnb is a victim of its own success, too few hosts. But hosting is already a problem in many places as it pushes up rents for 'ordinary' residents. Where is this heading to, will everything become an airbnb, and we all become nomads? We will finally own nothing and be happy. Also a lot of people talk as if airbnb and hotels are interchangeable, but they are not. In my touristy european area, airbnb is everywhere and hotels can't match what people offer there. It's really about the different types and locations of accomodation that airbnb promotes in its homepage now, not for simply finding 'a place to sleep' like a hotel. Both of them have their place, but airbnb has a lot more space to expand in new types and modes of accomodation that we haven't discovered yet, and hotels cannot directly compete with those offerings.
