How Airbnb Earned Me $20,000 And A Restraining Order From My Landlord

Your comment is incredibly relevant and insightful because the world is black and white and our current regime, which is perfect, is all that stands between us and _The Jungle_. So-called "sensible" reforms to hotel-related legislation and economic freedom in general will only doom us all to accidental cannibalism in our hamburgers.

Seriously, this is flippin' AirBnB, not the slaughterhouse industry. I only asked you to think about the costs, not to roll everything back. Is this a knee-jerk reaction to straw-man arguments which you happen to imagine coming from your least-favorite Republicans, or what?

You criticized regulation in general so I criticized lack of regulation in general. It's not a hard leap.

If you want a more closely related set of laws, look at tenement housing. The Jungle was not the only example of an industry that badly needed reform.
