Disclaimer: I have not been a customer of Airbnb at any time, and it has been a long time since I have traveled to New York City. As one member of the general public among many here, why should I (or anyone) sign a petition to ask for a law change to favor a particular for-profit business? What's the general public benefit of favoring one business rather than another in New York's pattern of regulation of short-term-stay businesses?

- mynewwork 13y agoI don't see how this is "favoring one business rather than another". Isn't this just "A lot of people like and want X, therefore the law should allow X"? I (as random citizen who neither uses airbnb nor owns a hotel) don't see this at all as favoring a business as you suggest, I see it as giving people the freedom to exchange goods and services as they want.
