Even if a large number of hosts were running full time hotels, which they clearly are not, what is so horrible about that? Do the "progressives" in S.F. believe that this should be a city that only people who can afford $400/night hotel rooms should be able to visit? Our city's hotel market is almost as screwed up as our residential market.
- objclxt 12y agoA large number of listings are full time hotels. One host who has twenty rooms on AirBnB is clearly going to have more listings than one host rented out their spare bedroom. And if you can't see why this is a problem, maybe you should go take a look at the Wikipedia list of hotel fires in the US[1], and pay particular attention to just how many of those fires were caused by either failing to follow the fire codes or could have been prevented had decent fire code regulations been in place at the time.
