Airbnb can be a really good thing if you're in a "touristy" location, I'm sure.

In many places, the "problem" with Airbnb is that it can strangle local housing markets; we've seen that around here. Which makes sense... after all, would you rather collect $100 a night, or $1500 a month for a long term rental? Problem is, we see people moving away because they can't find places to rent, since so many property owners have converted their rentals to Airbnb.

Of course, when you're just doing Airbnb with extra space in your own place of residence, that's a whole different thing.
