I find it particularly appalling what happened to this poor woman, who was struggling to afford her bills and rented out two rooms. Her neighbors went on what amounts to an absolute witch hunt and succeeded in getting the city to shut her down. ANd note, none of the neighbors could say they'd ever even seen one of her guests! Because they couldn't! Her property is on a large piece of land deep in the woods in Delaware. The neighbors were acting solely out of anti-Airbnb hysteria...I dont' think I've ever seen a clearer case of it.
