Answer from the article: "Perhaps it isn’t reasonable to expect the company, which believes it’s worth at least $2 billion according to a TechCrunch report on its latest fund-raising efforts, to track down every zoning law in tiny vacation hamlets. But it can certainly make the rules clear in urban areas where it knows that people like Mr. Warren could easily end up in hot water."
- twoodfin 14y agoI wonder if "making the rules clear" in some areas but not others opens them up to liability.

- Permit 14y agoIf Airbnb started providing warnings about laws in various cities, wouldn't the lack of a warning for another area suggest there were no legal issues there? This seems like something you can't half-ass.
- sliverstorm 14y agoIn other areas, you can simply swap out the "This is Illegal" disclaimer with a "This might be illegal in your area, we don't know"
- konstruktor 14y agoI really hope that your are right. Everything else would be a very perverse incentive.
