Is that a typical attitude in your culture? I'm a lot closer to "follow regulations only when I agree that they're justified or when I fear the consequences of not following them" and I'm not particularly sure why - I've always felt that way and it doesn't seem like a particularly unusual attitude in my area.

Going back to the article - I might decide not to run an AirBnB unit if it was truly inconveniencing the neighbors, and I might decide not to run an AirBnB unit if I was afraid of getting fined a large sum of money, but I'd never give up my AirBnB units just because the local government said I had to. It would never even pop into my mind - I just wouldn't consider the regulation legitimate.

I wonder why we're so different. Education? Parenting? Stuff like this is so interesting!
