Since I work at one, I stay at hotels free (within my brand) so I can’t say I have much experience with airbnb. I do feel they cater to very different markets though, I don’t necessarily begrudge the existence of airbnb, even if they are kind of our competition.

OTAs on the other hand, can all get fucked.

Air&b is a plague on affordable rentals and housing.

Nah. NIMBY-ass zoning laws, which prevent building and limit supply, are the root cause of unaffordable housing. It’s basic economics; zoning laws literally limit the production of a necessary good, and when that happens, prices increase. Fix zoning, and you will solve your problem.
