Steal a few million from a company, go to jail.

Steal billions from the public and cause a global financial meltdown, stay free.

  We model local demand for each night by modeling hotel prices, flight data, conference attendance & more.

God forbid you could just set what you think is a reasonable price for your rental, and have somebody else come along and think your price is reasonable, too.

Just another solution looking for a problem.

Stuff like this makes me sad. When I first used Airbnb three years ago, it was easy to find a real person letting out their room or apartment to make some extra money. Nowadays, it's very difficult to tell who is a real person and who is just like this guy: an absentee landlord for a place they've never lived in. It's an abuse of the system, and it's people like this who are going to get Airbnb shut down. Blame them when it happens.
