HighQualityBeerMug not letting her peeps go even partly Galt....
I am senator you may kiss the ring now.
In my mind, Feinstein will always be one of the malignant pod people that Jim Jones' Peoples' Temple belched out from San Francisco into California and US politics.
yet leftists will still claim to be the party of the little guy and they push them into homelessness
Something about this must be getting in the way of building her personel wealth.
“That’s one of the stronger parts of Chiu’s law: It requires hosts to pay a 14 percent hotel tax, register with the city and get insurance. “
A little government bureaucracy to make it more “efficient”.
Well letzee; Figured out what Ess Eff was but what the blazes is Airbnb ?
Most 81 year olds don’t like or get the Internet and it’s offshoots.
I heard she likes Wooden Shoes
Not surprised. Pelosi has also meddled with SF municipal politics over the years. A more cynical type might suggest it had something to do with the very lucrative real estate deals Nancy’s made in an around the region. I, of course, would *never* suggest such a thing. *ahem*
I doubt that DiFi hangs around “ess eff” much anymore. She is a fully entrenched “dee see” denizen now.
One of her snooty lib friends from Pacific Heights prolly got concerned that one of the neighbors was renting out rooms to the commoners.
I’m no fan of excessive government regulation, but I’m surprised a company like Airbnb has lasted this long. It seems like the who business model is based on arrangements that run afoul of many zoning laws, apartment lease agreements, and even the terms of most homeowners insurance policies.
If I had my guess, it probably sprang from people renting out their homes for porno shoots.
Well, that, and people wanting to cash in on events such as the Olympics, Super Bowls, etc.
Probably a way to try to get around subleasing and rent control, too.
DiFi, in your mind you might be mayor of SF, but in my mind you are the winner of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.
“”Figured out what Ess Eff was but what the blazes is Airbnb ?””
You can google it like I did and you still won’t know. As near as I can figure out it’s the name of a website for finding these rentals but it certainly has to stand for something! Doesn’t it?
How about Bed and Breakfast for the bnb part but Air? No clue!
AirBed & Breakfast
“Shortly after moving to San Francisco in October 2007, Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia created the initial concept for AirBed & Breakfast during the Industrial Design Conference held by Industrial Designers Society of America.[9] The original site offered short-term living quarters, breakfast and a unique business networking opportunity for attendees who were unable to book a hotel in the saturated market.[10]”

New services like AirBnB and Uber have politicians up in arms. There’s no opportunity for graft!
