In this article about airbnb and the city of San Francisco at www.tnooz.com/2012/05/08/news/airbnb-seeks-further-occupancy-tax-discussion-san-francisco-treasurer-stands-firm/ it appears that airbnb says the following:
“We do not shy away from tax obligations, nor do we believe that all types of private residential rentals should be excluded from transient occupancy tax in all situations. We will continue to cooperate with the City and the Tax Collector’s Office and look forward to the opportunity to work together on potential new tax policy and rules for collection for the temporary rental of space in private residences.”
Interesting.... each one of these listings violates local laws and doens't collect the occupancy tax, sales taxes, homeowner tax, government registration, city registration, required insurance and both income taxes. It appears that maybe they are starting to understand that they are being used, illegally.
