Airbnb isn’t killing hotels, after all
"This suggests that cities that want to increase tourism should consider
allowing Airbnb to operate. There is a market for budget-conscious
travelers that Airbnb allows cities to capture. This results in higher
earnings for businesses and higher tax revenue for cities. Finally,
given the fact that most Airbnb listings are outside of hotel districts,
this could bring tourist dollars to other parts of a city, rather than
concentrating them downtown."

My two cents: I doubt whether this will convince Pro-F terrorists, but those who think supporting neighborhood businesses is a good thing may take notice.
