We’re launching total price display to all guests to make prices simple and transparent. Now all guests will see the total cost of a stay before taxes upfront.
Without airbnb more hotels would be built instead of apartment buildings. The tourists will get a place to sleep eventually, you just have to decide whether it’s in an apartment or a hotel. That will determine future construction projects
Yeah, that’s why we should have mixed use zoning. I stayed in a hotel in a residential area in Seoul, it was great. There’s convenience stores everywhere and little restaurants and cafes next to residential houses
This is not a good thing, zoning laws often lead to higher rents because they constrain construction. They also lead to having to drive everywhere because your house is too far from anything that’s not another house

hotels are controlled by laws and zoning, airbnb gets around that and turns planned living space into hotel space.

This varies from place to place. This is handled really badly in some places and much better in others.
