Airbnb is targeted at tourism, and passersby. End of discussion. It has zero effect on long-term apartment rental. The only 'disruption' this is causing is to the rip-off merchants in the old-school hospitality industry, who have been gouging tourists since time immemorial.

This kind of nonsense is almost guaranteed to be backed by big business hotel chains.

In response, I will double down on my commitment to spend time in more Airbnbs, and not at hotels.
