Companies certainly had their time and place in history, but these days it seems to be less about making a quality product for the consumer and more about making as much profit for the shareholders as possible.
Now that vehicles track all your driving and make logs and send data, I'm wondering how long it will be until a police officer can simply look at your car's data while he/she is driving behind you instead of using a speed gun of some sort.
Automated vehicles on a large scale won't work well unless they attempt to drive the common speed like a human would. People get too frustrated driving behind someone who insists on driving slower than everyone else.
Because setting up a test environment is not cost effective for corporations. In capitalism everyone is better off if we save corporations money and help them profit even if we pay with our lives. Corporations are that important.
It's easier just to say no more air bnb, since it is well within the right of government to do so. Why should everyone pay taxes for the way a minority wants to change things.
The police are not set up to go after someone who is only staying there for a few days nor is it the job of the police to pursue the matter once those people leave. There are many accounts of people who have to call the police week after week because even if one renter listens to them, there is just another the week after. The police have a hard enough time without dealing with that.
Because as an Air BnB renter you do not guarantee that their activities will be perfectly legal and that they will not infringe on the neighbors. Nor do you have the right to control what they do. Yet as the property owner you have an obligation to your neighbors to ensure activities on your property do not infringe on theirs.
Property rights never allowed anyone to infringe on others even if you do it from your own property. The onus here is for Air Bnb to come up with a way to ensure all tenants stay within the property rights of the other owners.
Well suggest a way that people can be vetted properly then. A person doesn't have to have a criminal background to have a large party. Short of the property owner being there and held accountable for any issues I don't see how it could be done.
Were you live perhaps. Not where I live. Not where a lot of other Shashdotters live. Not everywhere BnB operates. If that's the way you want to live then fine.
Maybe you were born in a shit pile and lived in one your whole life, so if you don't want to search for anything better then that's fine. Many other people don't live that way and don't want to have it forced on them. Frankly you sound like the kind of stereotype a lot of Americans try to deny.
Well fortunately we have laws against a person having their yard full of garbage so you don't have to worry about that. Where I live people get fined for that from time to time. People can certainly do what they want in their own homes if it doesn't affect other people, but once it does affect other people there are almost certainly laws against it. Infringing on a person's ability to sell their home is a very real way someone can affect another. A person can't kill someone in their own home, or keep them there against their will. A person can't play loud music in the middle of the night that is audible to neighbors. This is no different because there is no way to control unruly behavior.
It's not really even about that. It's the fact that there is a big difference living in a place where people have a vested interest to behave. In a block of renters, they're there for at least a year usually and want the people who are around them to be respectful so they are mutually respectful. If someone is loud you call the cops on them and it has an effect because after multiple calls there will be an escalation. With air BnB there is nothing you can do about it, because the people are leaving in a couple days and may even be from another state or country so what do they care? Can you not see what an apartment block of Air BnBs would be like? It would be a terrible place to live.

As long as the plane flies in computer simulations they should have people pay extra for the privilege of trying the first flight.

Except for the one that turned into a bus.

You can rent your house out for long term occupancy, not short term. And only if it is registered as a rental property.
A few bad apples spoil the whole barrel. That's how it works in life.
I'm looking for one, what model was it and how do you like it?

But the noise that goes into someone else's property is not.

It's like when you write something, and people feel what you say may inconvenience them, they just don't comprehend it. Is that an American thing?

But you are aware that there are humans living next to you that probably won't like a loud stereo blasting at night and you care about that somewhat.

Fine, have fun shooting your gun. Yeeeehaaaaaaw.
I didn't say anything about fruit baskets.
It astonishes me how cold people are to the needs of others. It's very sad that the world does this to some people.

Well if you're neighbors are like you, I don't blame you.
