They want to know exactly who are their neighbors- whether for safety reasons, or for friendships or block parties or whatever.

They want a nice quiet residential experience. They oppose all this moving in and moving out in their neighborhoods. So, yes, it is a reasonable hypothesis to look at this sector of the economy for an explanation of these new stifling rules.Īnother source of dissatisfaction with Airbnbs and VRBOs stems from homeowners and renters who do not engage in such activities. For a large family, a residence of 3,000 square feet for $1000 per night is a much better deal than five hotel rooms of $300 each. They are in direct competition with those who rent out homes on a temporary basis. One answer is obvious: hotels and motels. One path toward an explanation of this phenomenon is to ask quo bono? Who gains from interfering with this type of marketplace behavior? And why, in turn, might that be the case? Why are they on the way out? This is because government is rendering this sort of commercial activity more and more difficult with more and more onerous rules and regulation, even including outright prohibition.

Maybe they are in the business of renting out residential real estate for such short time periods. Perhaps the vendors go out of town for that stretch of time, and want to add a bit of spending money to their budgets. Residential occupants rent out their domiciles for anything from a day or two or three up to several weeks and maybe as long as a month or so. What’s that you say? What are they? They are short term rentals.
