Airbnb Is a Risky Neighbor

I don't mind a reasoned argument, but willful ignorance of viewpoints you don't like is an embarrassingly bad approach. It's transparently dumb.

Maybe it's not willful, and that's why I'm asking? Would you care to help alleviate my ignorance?

FWIW, I've actually heard a lot of viewpoints against AirBnB; I just think they're all poorly reasoned.

People don't want to be regularly woken by strangers in their building.

Well unfortunately, that happens in any apartment building. It's not specific to AirBnB. Anything else?

If it isn't willful, then you need to demonstrate that that you're not totally ignorant of the concerns people have. Educating yourself isn't our job; it's yours.
