British person here: I get where you're coming from, sorta, but it's a pretty bad take...

Uber has had their license revoked and returned repeatedly in London for the last few years because they have such a terrible reputation for consumer safety - instances of girls being assaulted by drivers, and insufficient protection by Uber after that.

Sure, not murder, but still pretty bad.

>How often do you hear it for Airbnb?

I've heard a lot of potential hosts not do airbnb for worry of things like guests having massive parties, making drugs, destroying things, etc.

I’ve been running two airbnbs for two years, with over 1000 nights hosted, and I’ve had none of those things. The worst that’s happened is a guest broke a chair, which they apologised over and paid for.

People are generally decent.

Some evidence of that would be that AirBnb has been growing for almost 15 years. If people were not generally decent, the business would never have scaled to this level.

My neighbor let his apartment out on AirBNB and the people who stayed there started a fire in the fireplace and didn't open the flue. I had to crawl out a smoke filled hallway.
