Any one saw it? I did not see any discuss here, so I just want to bring your guys attention.

Thank for sharing, interesting article. I wonder what the end result will be.

This is infuriating. The government has become the enemy of citizens and business. Any time something that makes sense and works well starts to catch on, the government is there to regulate and tax it into oblivion.

I heard about someone getting around the rules of a city who also dislikes Airbnb. They are letting people stay free per night and having higher prices for maid service which is required. And there are some other optional fees like having someone deliver food. I found it interesting they let people stay free and charge for other items to get around the rules.
