Not content on just driving residents out of the city, it's time to wage war on the tourists too.
These idiots do realize if no one comes to the city that there is no one to pay their ridiculous taxes? Apparently not!
- justinlloyd 3y agoI need a clarification this statement. Are we waging war on the tourists to keep them out? Or keep them in? I just want to make sure I am routing for the side that will produce the most unintended consequences.
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoDo tourists exclusively book 1 month+ vacations in New York City, and MUST use an Airbnb to stay there?
- seanhunter 3y ago…because no tourist ever came to New York before the advent of AirBnB. As someone who uses AirBnB, it’s pretty obvious to me that the way in which the AirBnB landscape has evolved and “professionalised” has negative externalities for normal residents. It doesn’t seem at all unreasonable to regulate this to try to restore the balance.
