Prediction: AirBnb goes down over spreading bedbugs.

I was reading some comments about Airbnb and the various aspect of airbnb and it flaunting local regulations. In the end, I think AirBnb spreading bedbugs take it down. Everything else if harder to empathize with.

Except many hotels also have bedbugs and they haven't gone out of business...

Also, a listing on AirBnB having bed bugs affects the seller strongly, but not so much BnB. To an extent, people reasonably don't blame AirBnB for bad listings too often

I'm talking about guests spreading bedbugs to other apartments in the building.

My bad, I misunderstood -- while I don't want to think of that as AirBnB's problem (a person who is motivated to lease the apt will find a way to), it is the case that AirBnB is probably introducing a lot of people who might not lease their apartments out...
