Assuming people know that they are renting slummy, dangerous apartments, I see no reason why they should be prevented from doing just that. Unless it's creating a wider problem for the community, I just don't see the benefit of baroque licensing and regulations.
- apendleton 14y agoI think what you're saying is that hotels (or hotel-like operations) shouldn't have strict health and safety regulations generally as long as there's adequate disclosure, but that's orthogonal to the discussion at hand. I think both you and your parent poster would agree that "actual" hotels and de facto airbnb hotels should be treated similarly from a regulatory standpoint, even if you disagree as to how much regulation is appropriate... in other words, airbnb shouldn't give some participants an unfair regulatory advantage over other participants in the same market niche.
