So this actually brings up an interesting point: There are many of us that use AirBNB, like you, and are quiet, respectful, and essentially good actors.

The problems that almost everyone seems to talk about are the (rare) bad actors -- the loud, disrespectful, messy, troublesome guests who ruin the residential experience for others.

So I wonder if the solution is in the platform itself -- it's not AirBNB that people don't like, it's bad AirBNB'ers. And maybe if AirBNB puts some real effort into cracking down / banning / preventing bad AirBNB'ers, a lot of the bigger issues & externalities go away...?



Until JerkSleepers starts, with the goal of disrupting that evil incumbent AirBNB by letting people exercise their freedoms and do what they want. I mean...HomeAway is already what you want AirBNB to do.
