Today marks a significant moment in our journey, and I am thrilled to share some important news with you. After much thoughtful consideration, I have decid
Air bnb is not evil, it’s people exchanging services for money. They just resolve disputes, show reviews, etc.
The difference with PayPal is that they are not in any business, so they can’t necessarily resolve disputes other than relating to the payment itself. But the credit card issuer has exactly the same job, so PayPal is an extraneous intermediary
Assuning thats normally for hotels and such, not as easily, no. AirBnB’s specific purpose is to remove barriers of entry for hosting people in your property. Initially that meant renting one of your rooms to a traveler on the cheap. Now it means companies that would otherwise have to jump through tons of regulatory hoops to put their properties on booking sites.
Not to mention… even if its the same, then its the same and still not a useful service, yeah? It’s just another booking service. Which, coincidentally, mostly extracts fees.
Airbnb actually provides a useful service, unlike PayPal which only extracts fees

Didn’t say that, I’m comparing companies that do nothing useful to companies that do something useful

Not building enough proprieties is destroying the housing market.
Even if you ban airbnb, it doesn’t solve this fundamental issue. Stop blaming businesses for NIMBYs voting to stop housing development.
Giving an avenue for rich development companies to snatch up properties they can short-term rent to rich travelers is a useful service?
Because those companies can’t go to booking.com if there’s no airbnb?

Airbnb is a social plague, its perpetrators should be in prison.
For what crime?
Large scale real estate without a license. Penalty : death in wood chipper, feet first.
