you're probably right. but i would hope it could be architected so that was less of a
problem. one thing that seems to make a big difference is whether it's a
deductions-based rather than tax-based.

just the hospitality political lobbies that are the problem, it's also the
landlords' lobby.
Dear Eddan,
I'm writing to ask you to help save Airbnb in New York.
As a guest who has stayed with a Host, you know how unique and local an experience that
is. And you also know the majority of our hosts are just regular people making ends meet
by renting out their own homes.
Now, that experience is under threat.
The New York Attorney General has subpoenaed the records of almost all of our New York
hosts. We are fighting the subpoena with all we've got, but poorly written laws make
for even worse enforcement. Unless you help to stop it once and for all, the laws may
never get better and the threat to our New York community will continue.
A petition to change New York law already has over 88,000 signatures, and an Airbnb host,
Mishelle, has pledged to personally deliver it to the New York Senate. Our new goal is
100,000 signatures. We hope as many people as possible will encourage New York to change
the law.
Sign Mishelle's petition to change the NY law and Save Airbnb.
Thank you for standing with our New York hosts. We can create a new world where people
can feel at home, anywhere. Let's create that world together.
Thank you for signing,
Douglas Atkin
