New York's Attorney General's office has just issued a report on "Airbnb in the City," studying the impact of the service that allows humans to easily find other humans who might want to pay to stay in their domiciles for short periods. Since this sort of lodging service has largely heretofore been dominated by businesses calling themselves "hotels," regulated and taxed in specific ways by localities and states, entrenched interests in both business and government feel bedeviled by this innovation of the tech-enabled "sharing economy" that makes finding paying use for idle resources easier and cheaper for everyone.
