Airbnb Essential Business

[Robert4750]

Airbnb’s aren’t only for vacationers. There are people stranded, laid off, evicted, etc, that need temporary shelter as they navigate their way to a more permanent shelter during this COVID crisis. 

It’s absolutely infuriating that hardware stores, etc are permitted to stay open and earn while people gather in groups in public places and hosts such as myself are denied our rights over the properties we own and pay taxes on. Why shouldn’t we be able to house small families or displaced individuals in our PRIVATE residences? I’m not talking about condos, I’m talking about stand alone homes owned and operated by hosts.
