    Smart. People can still rent out an extra room, but can’t squat on an apartment solely for Airbnb.

    That’s how airbnbs were when I’ve used them in the past, things like a place where you can sleep on someone’s couch, or a house with a spare room you can crash in. Those kinds of arrangements were way cheaper than hotels and very appealing.
