Airbnb dominated by professional landlords
Put me in the camp that&#x27;s very anti-AirBnB as a resident who doesn&#x27;t want where I lived turned into a hotel. I live in NYC. It&#x27;s a problem.<p>None of this is a surprise, so much so that AirBnB seems to be aware of this and is acting in a way that&#x27;s, at best, ethically challenged and, at worst, illegal eg deleting listings before giving data to the state of NY that &quot;shows&quot;
 most hosts only have one unit [1].<p>If people want to run a hotel, there&#x27;s a legal structure for this. And zoning. Go do that. I personally applaud efforts to shut down illegal hotels.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ny.curbed.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;2&#x2F;25&#x2F;11110594&#x2F;airbnb-letter-state-legislature-illegal-listings" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ny.curbed.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;2&#x2F;25&#x2F;11110594&#x2F;airbnb-letter-state...</a>
