"Paul Bulger, a lawyer representing Thomas, said the problem is that the city’s zoning code is outdated when it comes to dealing with short-term rentals.
“What you have is a definition that hearkens back to an old age and you are trying to apply it to an age of Uber and Airbnb,” Bulger said.
“It is not a good fit and they know it.”
A good scenario would be to hold off enforcement until the city comes up with new rules, Bulger said."
I agree. Cities should not enforce old, outdated laws against Airbnb hosts....particularly when they are planning to write new laws.
