The airbnb moniker is nothing more than a smokescreen for short term rentals. Many jurisdictions require licenses for short term rentals and some prohibit any subletting. These are not “bed and breakfast” places but short term rentals in desirable week or weekend vacation locations or locations where any sort of short term housing is scarce. Often the place is empty, the host does not live there. Here in rural VA the city people buy places specifically to list them for short term rental.

Our AZ town has a “hotel tax” which covers short term rentals under 30 days.
I bet most of the AirBnB spot are not paying any taxes...:^)
