        It’s the city and the hotel owners. They want to block people from using vacation rentals so they have to go to hotels.

          Yeah, how dare they try to enforce zoning laws and reduce the number of housing locations that are bought up by wealthy interests to be rented out as vacation rentals rather than housing a local family!

          NYC made this change recently. It’s necessary. Housing is awful in major cities and AirBnB and Vrbo have just made it worse, completely ignoring zoning laws and turning housing into apartment-sized hotel rooms.

          It’s the illegal ones that don’t pay the taxes.

          If there is a tax, you need to pay it. Looking at you, rich people.
