Landlords and city governments all across the country are getting wise to illegal sublets which is naturally contracting the supply of apartments from folks like myself. (I foolishly rented out my S.F. apt, got caught and politely asked to leave) Between the crack down and the coming tax wave, I think AirBnb for the single traveler becomes less attractive both on price and selection. I already see this happening in New York when I travel there. I'd rather stay in a hotel for the same price and less hassle. Certainly for a family or group Airbnb makes more sense. But I can't help thinking the AirBnb growth slows as it becomes more of a niche option.
