@Les Jean-Pierre The news from New York about AirBNB is interesting and likely trend setting.I read last week that Stephen Ross of The Related Group has asked his residential property managers and tenants to keep an eye out for AirBNB use in their properties.As the deep pockets (aka bigger), large owners such as The Related Group likely want to avoid being accused by NYS of supporting a concept that requires regulation.Many cities globally follow New York's lead on policy (e.g., the smoking ban in restaurants).
