I thought of going to desktop, but if I did I would like to host it somehow.

Anyway, we are hosting a meetup group every month with the next one this coming Monday, Oct 7th.

Hey @Kevin Yun, It's my understanding that for any building four units or less, the registered host has to live in the building as a primary residence and can only Airbnb one's own unit and one other.

All they are willing to offer is to forward a letter to the host who is my business partner. 

We are park hosts, reservation agents, etc... basically whatever is needed by the park. 

We host one in NYC, more details under my profile. 

@Scott Hollister runs one in Manchester and @Mat O'Grady hosts in New London/Groton.

Cities have economic development departments, or the like, which publish all sorts of data on demographics, income, housing, schools, population growth, growth, employment,  and a host of other data.

An outright ban will almost certainly never happen because the city figures it is better to make money of hosts than them do it illegally and lose everything. 

You don't need to have their permission - but you need to give notice (usually 48 to 72 hours in advance) for a host of reasons including a required/needed repair.
