    When you see anti-Airbnb legislation around the country, this is where it's actually coming from. A quote from the hotel industry's plan.pic.twitter.com/NHFon6PbgC

        I think the part that should've been highlighted was the "common sense regulation in short-term rentals".

        I also found that part sinister: the way they're going to pitch the regulations as common sense, when in fact they're from lobbyists.

        Most regulations originate from some party lobbying their own interest. That doesn't make it inherently evil or sinister.

        Decentralized identity will take the ball away from cronies. Without a centralized interdiction point, they'll have to target each homeowner

        Why is it that Facebook can authenticate my identity but I can't authenticate myself?

        @timoreilly as someone who lived next to “professional” airbnbs which drove rents crazy high, I support the hotel lobby in this!

        When booking apps promote owners skipping local regs they are rightly vulnerable to this line of attack. Comply with local laws or go under.

        You are missing the point lobbying is for adding regs to protect hotels, not merely enforcing existing rules.

        I understand your point, but the reason the lobbying is effective is because of the business model in place. Very vulnerable to new laws.

        Not apples to apples. Booking apps gain advantage by not operating under all applicable laws. This invites overreach by estab competition.

        and WHY is there something wrong with me letting someone use my home and getting paid subject to existing disturbance rules etc? 2/

        I agree, but far too many are full-time properties flouting zoning, occupancy, licensing and taxes. Not mom-&-pop weekend rentals.

        vancouver’s anti-AirBnB legislation is because there is a shortage of affordable housing and a lot of people AirBnBing as a business.
