Comment on Airbnb Is a Risky Neighbor

Comments

I think it takes a really fucked up worldview to say "I don't like noisy visitors, so we should just ban AirBnB outright."

Really? Is that your first response whenever you don't like something? Just make it illegal!

How about you ask for enforcement/introduction of non-subleasing policies for your building? There is absolutely no good reason to screw over everyone else in the process.

The problem is that not only is AirBnB not trying to do anything about it, they are actually continuing to push ahead further.

Having the building you live in double as a downscale hotel is absolutely craptastic. From all your comments, you seem not to understand this rather simple point.

It's not just the noise, it's the security as well.

Safety is a real concern. The area still has muggings, drug dealing and even a few murders. Knowing who belongs in your building and who has a key is an important aspect of living in BK.

you keep repeating the same thing over and over. How do you suggest landlords enforce the policy?

How do you suggest landlords enforce the policy?

Evicting tenants who don't follow it? That's how lease agreements work.

Have you ever been through an eviction process as a landlord? It's not fast, and its far from easy.
