Re:Virginia orders Uber, Lyft to stop operating in state by rtpg on Thursday June 05, 2014 @08:09PM (#7855437)
To expand on this point: I think that most people agree that some sort of vetting process is good (would you get into a complete stranger's car?) Uber and the like seem to have good ways of holding on to good drivers: the feedback loop is in place and seems to work. The safety problem seems to solve itself

With airbnb the problem becomes more complicated because service users can also cause problems (moreso than in most things). But by the nature of the service there are two issues:

- service providers (the subleters ) might not be around to give good feedback

- neighbors are likely not giving feedback

There's no good quality control on the people staying in the house and neighbors suffer.
