I'll reply with a metaphor: - taxes or regulations in Germany are like OS x - taxes or regulations in Italy are machine code written by monkeys in the 50s based on 2000 years old Roman code and the last monkey who knew how to read it d

(OP here) yes, my execution was aimed at keeping it alive, not making it big. The idea itself was not enough to make it big. There was a time when growth was actually getting out of hand, but the financial crisis of 2008 stopped that.

In Prague, just to give you an example I know well, the number of apartments for short term rent is pretty high and it grew pretty quickly too in the 90's. The reason was not Silicon Valley growth but the end of socialism. Internet was

I've been making tourist apartments available online since 2001, long before Airbnb (a competitor for me) even existed, and I never heard anyone in any city ever complain about tourist apartments, be it Prague, Venice or Paris. What ha
