You're right: All these restrictions and taxes should be abolished for both AirBnB and Hotels. Problem solved.

- Xylakant 13y agoOne solution to the problem. If that's the best one is debatable, but in any case it's fair. Go lobby for that.
- saym 13y agoThanks for adding sensible points to this debate. Your responses seem to always be both respectful and informative.
- shin_lao 13y agoAs a resident of one of the most visited city in the world, I am very happy about these taxes paid by tourists (in the end) that allow me to enjoy lower taxes.
- jchung 13y agoAs a New Yorker, I would be quite upset if taxes on visitor housing was eliminated. We spend a lot of money each year maintaining our city for our residents and guests alike. We invest in infrastructure to handle millions of people coming in and out each day, we spend millions cleaning streets and subways, we fund local arts programs and museums that you enjoy when you come to visit us, and much more. I hope you come to New York often, and enjoy our wonderful city, and I hope you contribute to the cost of maintaining that city so that it continues to be awesome for a long time to come.

- gee_totes 13y agoAs a fellow New Yorker, I would be upset of taxes on visitor housing were eliminated. The governments gotta get it's money somehow, and I'd rather them tax visitor housing and the housing would pass those costs down to the tourists than for taxes for everyday New Yorkers be raised.
