My numbers are a bit off since I last looked, and yes I was mostly looking in SF. Thanks for mentioning- I'll edit it. It definitely won't get you a furnished 3 BR with a decent interior like this place.

From the screenshot, the scam is actually pretty easy to spot if you know what to look for. Here's some clues: 1. All accomodations are available (w/d in unit, pets ok, wheelchair accessible, furnished!) - eliminating listings wit

Wouldn't opening up competition to other companies be exactly the reason why such non-US competitors may be able to acquire more market share? The only way I could see the US being able to regulate non-US competitors who grow too large

I wonder if US officials will be concerned by the prospect that breaking up these companies may potentially cede market share to tech companies in other countries, such as China. Especially if other countries don't bother breaking up t
