Does anybody actually like it when airBnB moves into their neighborhood? I had one try and move in next door. fortunately my city had a defacto ban in place (the permit basically means you have to be a hotel-level of operation to successfully get the permit.).
They were only in operation for two or three groups staying and it was a nightmare. Trash being thrown into my yard. Shitty party music until 3 am. idiots trying to drive home from a keggar. drunken fratboys trying to figure out how to use my brick smoker to grill their fucking hotdogs... because the fence wasn't an obvious enough indication that maybe it was someone else's property. idiots blocking my drive way. Drunken idiots trying to drive out to get...whatever...
Like, I could not imagine living with that constant barage of bullshit. the funny part was the host was pissed that we dared call the cops on their 'guests'. (who then proceeded to piss off the cops with bullshit pseudo-lawyering.)
AirBNB was great back when it was just a viable means for finding a room in someone's house to crash for a few days. Then the profiteers found it and AirBNB sacrificed their entire reputation for short-sighted greed. Add with everything in the past 20 years
I used to be a host in nyc with two rooms in my place, and it was just that, profiteering ruining it for everyone. But before the LLCs, there were the hosts that just scaled l into becoming profiteerers. A lot of them started as regular hosts and simply found it much more lucrative to scale it to many units or entire buildings.
It was a fun experiment for a while, but I hated what it became as soon as Airbnb started marketing itself more aggressively. Once they shared listings with hotel aggregators, it was over, completely changing the type of clientele and turning it into a sort of Russian roulette, where one in six guests would do something that got me closer to quitting it altogether, which I did eventually.
Edit for clarity: I’m in favor of the current regulation.
