As usual, a few jerks ruin it for the rest of us.

I've stayed at a number of airbnbs and we're very respectful of our neighbors. We basically treat the place as if we lived there, because that's what we're looking for.

Hotels suck:

  • no kitchen, just a microwave if you're lucky
  • expensive for a small space
  • housekeeping - I don't want strangers looking through my stuff
  • target for crime - cars get broken into a lot at hotels and motels
  • annoying check-in process, always seem to need to ask the desk people for something, etc

I just don't like hotels. Maybe zoning could limit airbnbs to townhouse/condo communities or something that are all rentals, but give me more options than a stupid hotel.

Yeah, let the people that can't afford to buy a house deal with them. The poors are used to living in shitty neighborhoods already, right?

Maybe hotels could just learn something from ABnB and offer some larger, more comfortable spaces with kitchens and 4-5 bedrooms? They're all over in Vegas.

Airbnb kitchens aren't great either (dull knives, wrecked pans) but at least they exist.

They're hit and miss, but yes, existing is the critical part here. I can make up for a missing/wrecked pan, I can't conjure an oven.
