Let’s help Airbnb rebuild the bridge it just burned
1) Why should we help a company valued at over $1 billion dig itself out of a hole of its own making?<p>2) The primary complaint is that Verified ID reduces the number of bookings.  This is only a concern to people who are using AirBnB illegally-i.e., as an unregistered hotel--and thus depend on volume.  The people using AirBnB for its proper purpose--occasional temporary "guests"--are largely unaffected by this.
