I met Bonnie in 2005 and Joe and Ashton in 2006.N.O. has had this issue for as long as there have been rooms unused, these unlicensed owners now just have a new easier way to get the word out that they exist. The problem that exists is there are not enough manpower within local gov. to keep everyone on the up and up. Changing the tax laws may be the best avenue to pursue this.
Bonnie is an excellent spokesperson for B&B's in LA as well as Joe and Ashton..
this is what annoys me - they are clearly listed with addresses and easy to find - so why is no one checking?I saw this article and sent a copy to the local newspaper. Almost everyone of these is illegal around here. I wish the revenue department went after them for unpaid taxes..

Probably because the bureaucrats think it is not enough money to go after. The fools do not stop to think that a dollar here and a dollar there adds up in addition to the extra taxes and fees they should be collecting that we are paying and so should everyone else. They will wait until the first person gets hurt - or dies - to condemn it and go after making them comply with the fire codes, health codes, and all the other BS we have to deal with, including insurance.[email protected] said:this is what annoys me - they are clearly listed with addresses and easy to find - so why is no one checking?

When I opened, people here (including our City Council) did not expect us to survive ("who is going to come to Shinnston?") but they welcome my B & O tax checks quarterly and my business license money every year. Council at least, has seen the light.

The defense of spending more money doesn't make up for the taxes stolen. And that is the point, AirBnB is aiding and abetting the theft of state/provincial taxes as well as federal taxes.

Those stays don't pay.... sales taxes, tourism/hotel taxes and most importantly, they don't pay income tax. In the US that is 10% to 35% of income. Sure they spend more money, but they are stealing more money as well.
That's like the robber going in front of the judge and saying, well, yes, I stole $1 million dollars, but I spent it in the community and therefore other businesses gained revenue from it. You are still tax evading criminals. Does RICO apply?

Please don't call me daft, I get the whole thing, I was saying your comparison is like Robin Hood, and if we aren't careful AirBnB will become a folk legend! hahaEric Arthur Blair said:You do realize that for every person who doesn't pay their income taxes, the government needs a higher percentage from YOU to make up for it, right?
We're on the air site with our vacation rental only. We've done OK by it. But if you book with us there, you'll pay a bit more. Our price there is higher to cover the fees. Only one group figured it out and went to our site to book online and cheaper. No one else for 20 miles around is on the site, and I find it increasingly lumps us with larger towns nearby, even if you search specifically for our town. Our visibility on the air site has gone way down in the last couple of months. We of course, pay the usual lodging taxes on bookings from that source.http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/09/airbnb-research-data-dump/this is what annoys me - they are clearly listed with addresses and easy to find - so why is no one checking?I saw this article and sent a copy to the local newspaper.
