> This is an issue that was given careful, deliberate consideration, but ultimately these activities are already expressly prohibited by law
So basically the city/state failed to respond to AirBnB illegal activities in short period of time hence letting them thrive and built a multi-billion dollar business.
Would that be a key to successful startup? Same thing happened with Uber. So is there any other branch of industry one can try to disturb that would violate local/state laws but such violation would take decent amount of time to stop you in reasonable time before you are "worth" billions? (okay, other than selling drugs which most of us and Ulbritch know will put you in jail for a long time).
> In typical fashion, Albany back-room dealing rewarded a special interest — the price-gouging hotel industry
Wow, that's pretty strong allegations. Does he have any proof of such illegal activity? If so, did AirBnB did anything to report it? In all seriousness, I frankly doubt there is such a big monopoly so that its impossible to open your own hotel and compete price-wise with others.
> and ignored the voices of tens of thousands of New Yorkers
Okay well I can find millions or criminals locked in jails saying it should be fine to kill people - is that a good enough reasoning?
They also claim Cuomo action infringe on 4th amendment. Can someone stretch it hard enough for me to actually see it Peter's way??
