How did New York survive before airbnb???



It created fewer new jobs for the people who already live there, which presumably resulted in lower wages on average. Supply + demand and all.


The same way it survived when it has insane crime rates. But nobody is advocating bringing back crime, are they?


What new thing could you not argue for by comparing it to higher crime rate? Why stop with crime? Your argument might be even more compelling if you used cholera as your baseline.
