Airbnb’s ‘Guerrilla War’ Against Local Governments
This seems like an overly critical article. Zoning laws and NIMBY impulses <i>should</i> be fought tooth-and-nail and I&#x27;m glad Airbnb is doing so. The platform has allowed me to actually enjoy travel in ways I never could before.<p>What I feel like is missing is a communication path from the community to the platform. Because people <i>start</i> by calling the police to complain it immediately becomes a legal and local ordinance issue. If it were easy to report abuses to Airbnb directly, or if local police were instructed to contact them, the platform could better regulate itself.
