I can barely trust some rando to drive me around to a destination in the city. Why would I trust other randos to let me rent and use their house? And not break housing or safety laws in the process? It is 100x more complicated than just driving me from point A to point B.

Lots seem to trust Uber/Grab/Lyft or whatever to drive them around. I don't think it's that complicated.

That's precisely what I was comparing it to. Transporting somebody in a car for 15 minutes is much different than providing housing, a bed, and a livable space for a week.

Neither are that difficult.
