This is really troubling and sickening. It's your property and you should be able to do as you please with it. What is the value of ownership if what you own is under government and HOA control? Disgusting. The fact that we allow government to get involved in our personal lives at this level should scare everyone. They are telling some of these people that they can't earn money to make-up for the fact that they fell upon hard times by using the one asset that they work so hard to acquire. You can't even rent your couch? This isn't right. As for the hotel industry. Well, offer a better product at good prices with exceptional service and you'll keep your customers. In other words: Compete.

Try to run a pig farm on your home and see how far you get with that. The law of "nuisance" has existed for hundreds of years. Your right to use your property extends only as far as the limits of your property. If any of the effects spill over to your neighbors, they have the right to limit what you can do with your property (to the extent of the "spill over"). This has been basic American/British property law for centuries.

  No disagreement with that at all. How does that relate to renting my couch or a room?

It's your property and you should be able to do as you please with it. What if you decide to start charging strangers to eat dinner at your house. Does the government have a right to start inspecting your kitchen? What if you take children in during the day. Should the givernment have any say in your qualifications as a day care operator or the conditions of your property? Corruption is a problem that should be solved. Regulation of business to enforce standards of health and safety is exactly what the government is supposed to be doing.
