Never said that

Giving an avenue for rich development companies to snatch up properties they can short-term rent to rich travelers is a useful service?
Because those companies can’t go to booking.com if there’s no airbnb?

Airbnb is a social plague, its perpetrators should be in prison.
For what crime?
