You oversell the government. Government regulations is ultimately just a promise backed by reputation. Some agencies follow through, some don't.

- alttab 13y agoA reputation whose life is significantly longer and larger than air bnb.
- mbillie1 13y agoYeah but you can legally appeal to government regulations. What recourse do you have with Airbnb? Writing a blog post?
- smsm42 13y agoYou can sue AirBnB. You'd say it is expensive, but "legally appeal" is always a pretty expensive thing to do. And, as far as I know, the regulatory agencies do not have actual legal obligation to consistently enforce their regulations - they have a very wide discretion, so if they want to ignore you, you don't have a lot of recourse. In fact, lately we have a lot of instances of executive powers modifying and plainly abandoning enforcing the laws they don't like. You don't have a lot of options in such case.
