I have always been drawn to these genres of art. The resistance to AirBnBs is an interesting topic. We had one across the street that was somewhat abusive as they frequently rented to partiers that didn't want to trash their homes but thought it was fine to trash the rental. I assume the rent was high enough to cover damages. Noise and parking were annoying when it was rented. On the flip side I just got back from Saratoga Springs which is a tourist mecca during horse racing season. While a bedroom community for Albany and New York government in Albany and a nice retirement place the town lives or dies on tourism. Many of the historic buildings are subdivided into rentals for the horse racing crowd. I had the opportunity to listen to some merchants talking about the relatively poor harvest from last years Belmont race and what the town was doing to increase revenue harvesting from the Belmont week this year. The residents around the track to the downtown district mostly all have plans to deal with the influx of summer tourists. Mostly they are annoyed but do enjoy the revenue boost and the income the middle to lower income tranch receive which allows their lifestyle to be better with the more diverse community around them.
