    By contrast, Airbnb has said the World Cup is to be “the biggest hosting event” in its history."

    When you have an unregulated marketplace like AirBnB the legitimate businesses will loose. AirBnB rentals destroys neighborhoods and kills hotels

      Hotels suck in comparison to renting a place. Renting may be causing other problems but it isn’t like they bring nothing to the table. If hotels didn’t want to lose out then maybe they should have stopped charging $300/night for a closet with a shitty bed in it.

        Yeah, lets hear you out when the residental house next door has new people in every week treating it as a hotel. Think of the average hotel guest you have experienced? Yeah that one EVERY week.

        Luckily my municipalityv/(Norway) will strike down hard on zoning violations if you run a commercial operation in a residential area.

        The initial idea was brilliant. Occasionally renting out a room in you house/flat. Or renting out a few weeks when you are yourself on vacation. But now that it’s businesses buying up housing and running them as hotels
