And, as much as I love them, their entire business is predicated on wholesale violation of local ordinances restriction hotel and short term stay operations. Those ordinances may themselves be corrupt and unethical but they're still laws.
- andrewtbham 12y agoYeh... Tesla, Uber, airbnb all use illegal sales techniques. I miss PG's more unvarnished advice.
- rtpg 12y agoTesla and Uber's defiance are for things that are pretty hard to justify. As the multitude of airbnb horror stories show, anti-subletting rules and the like are usually there for some pretty valid reasons, and it's in a different category of illegal. I, for one, am glad that my neighbour isn't inviting a bunch of strangers into his house every other day.
- rdl 12y agoUber in general is violating "things which are hard to justify", but their marketing tactics vs. competitors in NYC were unquestionably wrong, IMO.
