Comment on New York’s Airbnb Ban Is Descending Into Pure Chaos

Make sure you keep in mind that Conde Nast (the parent company of Wired) has subsidiary companies running articles like “35 Best Airbnbs Near New York City, From Cozy Cabins in the Catskills to Beachy Houses in the Hamptons”[1]. They likely have indirect or direct financial ties to AirBnB.

So this article that is seemingly trying to present an argument that this regulation isn’t working because a black market has emerged, while giving more space in the article to small landlords and AirBnB’s CEO and their defence than to critics of AirBnB, as well as mentioning hotel prices rising but not how AirBnB has caused rental prices to rise… should give you pause about the bias this article is trying to hide.
