    Without airbnb more hotels would be built instead of apartment buildings. The tourists will get a place to sleep eventually, you just have to decide whether it’s in an apartment or a hotel. That will determine future construction projects

      hotels are controlled by laws and zoning, airbnb gets around that and turns planned living space into hotel space.

      You can’t just build a hotel in a residential area, that usually goes against zoning laws which Airbnb circumvents

        Yeah, that’s why we should have mixed use zoning. I stayed in a hotel in a residential area in Seoul, it was great. There’s convenience stores everywhere and little restaurants and cafes next to residential houses
