Granted, the above is more of a general trend then a hard and fast rule. The city and area you live in will greatly effect the rates for both.

At the end of the day I think it is quite clear that AirBnB is a net negative to society, and a huge one at that. So fuck em.

...which is weird, because at first AirBnB had a huge positive influence. Often times hotels had regional monopolies and individuals owned an extra condo... Like a match made in heaven the hotels got much-needed competition and people were able to do something more flexible than timeshare with their vacation/work/whatever condo

The issue seems to be businesses that buy property to use for the exclusive purpose of AirBnB

Agreed.

Ultimately, it's just the nature of corporations to fuck us over in the end.
