I imagine there are some “written in blood” laws and regulations that apply to hotels that airbnb is ignoring, too. That should also be addressed.
Comment on Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 2 days agoWhile Air B&B has done irreperable harm to the housing market, I’m not 100% convinced it should be banned. I propose if a house operates as an enterprise, it be taxed according to commercial rates, not residential. It would go a long way to resolving the inequities.

At least for the time it’s not used as a residence by the owners. If they want a mixed rate, they need to prove when they are there and when they’re not (i.e. when it’s listed for rent).
