No AirBnB Here

A friend, struggling to make ends meet, found that he could rent his spare room by
the night, and earn a nice supplemental income. But he also found out there are
rules about competing with hotels. Cities from New York to Denver have started
adopting rules to stop such practices – not because there is any danger to public
safety, but because Air B-n- B has become serious competition for hotels, just as
Uber competes with taxis. Many tourists enjoy staying at bed-and- breakfasts, and
traveling is a different experience when you get to know your hosts, in their
homes. We understand why hotel chains may be threatened by such competition,
but a look through the lens of liberty tell us this is not the government’s business.
Such favoritism limits your choices, but if you don’t defend your right to stay
wherever you want, who will?
