I love AirBNB for finding a place to stay. Here are thoughts on how I might feel in other roles: * landlord: I'd have an issue with a high volume of non-tenants coming in and out of my building without permission. * hotel operator: I'd rather the supply of hotel rooms be limited. The fewer rooms, the more demand for my rooms! * insurance company: guest of AirBNB guest does something bad and the cost of dealing with it is high. What a mess. * mayor: publicly I'm against it because hotels fund my election campaigns. Privately, I stay in AirBNB rooms while in vacation because civil service doesn't pay much (albeit it wouldn't surprise to find mayors are rarely broke) * neighbor: there's too much noise coming from that place down the hall. They are rude and have no vested interest in being nice because they don't live here. AirBNB is a fabulous service to use and I understand why it has opponents.
