Still trying to fight airbnb

Good news coming from the city of Portland, Or.
Portland also shut down Uber last month
We can hope this is a trend that will force them to be more transparent..

That is all you can ask. Pay your fair share, follow the rules as best as you are able, and live long and prosper.

Well in my book a B +B is not "legal" it is properly permitted, inspected and insured. It's nice that she is paying taxes, or so she says, but if she is running a lodging business in a zone where short term rentals are verboten, then she is NOT a legal B+B!

I would think being legitimate (paragraph 5) means at least 'properly permitted' and passed all the requirements to do so. (laws vary from area to area). Just because the article leads you to think paying taxes is all that is is required, we all know there is more to it than that.
She had been operating the business for 16 years (see paragraph 1)!

If I read it correctly, the zoning changed around her. Would have been nice if they had grandfathered those already doing business.
She's making a living for herself. Don't just legislate the ability away.
