brian chesky and airbnb did the right thing, they had to respond. the big question is, can they actually stop it? and if they can't, or their responses are not deemed weighty enough or enthusiastic enough, what kind of consequences can it have for the whole business model? i think the business model itself could be in danger. and it's because more of these kinds of events will bring up regulatory pressure in places like new york or san francisco, or london. this has already been happening because of people complaining. because of people buying multiple properties and renting them out as party homes. so the biggest risk is regulartory. are there any specific areas where this is a problem, because this is a huge company operating right around the world and actually, lots and lots of people use it, use it perfectly well and it's part of holidaying and part of everyday life. the vast majority of people use it to like have good places around the world and not throw parties. but there's always been this segment and that has become a growing issue. and bec
