In reply to Steven Unger.

I have no issues with Cities enforcing the intended use provisions and bylaws in their regions. Airbnb hosts are not paying hospitality tax, commercial tax rates, or funding infrastructure improvements. I disagree with the suggestion that hotels need to lower prices to compete, Airbnb hosts need to pay their fair share for the service they are offering.
I think that Airbnb offers a novelty service which is fun and interesting for adventurous travelers who are flexible. Airbnb hosts are hit and miss. I agree with Steven though that when I travel on business the last thing I want to be doing is trying to chase down the host or driving around the block looking for a parking space when I have a meeting to attend.
