Thanks for taking the time to formulate a decent argument.

But you aren’t forced to use Airbnb. Hotels still exist. My wife and I have done a lot of travel — we’re travelling in a few days — and we don’t use Airbnb.

Airbnb and Uber are particularly repugnant to me because their business model intrinsically involve flouting the laws.

I understand that often you have no choice because of the market. But Airbnb is not one of those cases.
