LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN

Suddenly, thousands of new normal rental units available.
I hope this includes a snitch bounty.
Lol, so this is why the Airbnb my parents rented to come and visit at Christmas got cancelled
A small price to pay
Theo Yedinsky, global policy director for Airbnb. “The city is sending a clear message to millions of potential visitors who will now have fewer accommodation options when they visit New York City: You are not welcome.” Yedinsky says Airbnb has a goal of working with the city on “sensible” home-sharing rules, but he did not elaborate on the company’s next steps.
"We're just heckin small beans who are trying to make cities more accessible for tourism!"
Yeah, this is the wrong move. New York needs to outlaw living in a place that is owned or rented. That way everywhere with a bed is available for tourists. The people can live and New Jersey and commute. The office spaces should be converted into dorm spaces to fit more tourists in. Turn the whole city into a theme park where no one actually lives and everything is even more overpriced. They’ll be sold out and booked for years. Rename it AirBNB presents: New York City. It’s the only way to tell tourists, “You are welcome”.
Did you just invent Venice
omg thank you for bringing this up, halfway through I was thinking “this sounds just like my experience in Venice” but I didn’t think it was relatable enough to mention 
Don't give them any ideas
lmao what's their plan for the city? just turn it into vegas? a big theme park for wealthy tourists with neighborhoods of expendable labor on the outskirts?
It’s a little known fact but tourism did not exist before Airbnb.
Fuck Airbnb
Fuck landleeches
Fuck rent-seeking. Fuck landlordery. Fuck techbros rent-seeking off of the rent-seeking. 
who parasites the parasite?
still a parasite lmaooo gottem
whoop whoop! 
i wonder what proportion of the coalition was Hotel Money, but it's still fucking awesome.
Hotels are a better use of space than airbnb every time.
well of course, i'm just curious if this was a mobilization of good political energy that can go further, or capital choking some competition.
or if hotel owners even had incentives to support the law, because they own land that becomes more valuable as airbnb inflates property prices
and only those who live in the place they’re renting—and are present when someone is staying
I'm ok with this, mostly because anyone who is renting a room and is willing to live with strangers sometimes must need the money. That's not an ideal situation but it should be allowed since people are broke.
Some asshole with an empty apartment they AirBNB doesn't need the money, they have more than 1 residence apparently.
pretty poggers law
bring that to my state pls
I wonder if this will significantly change the 'shadow vacancy' issue that's been going on. If the leeches can't make money off units that were not available in the rental market, they might have to sell them or rent them out.
