I don't think Airbnb is being fair to their hosts by having us incur 100% of the loss due to their cancellation policy. A 50/50 split would be the right thing to do. Some of us, or I venture to say most of us depend on our Airbnb income to stay above water in a economy that continues to favor the rich. As they squeeze out the middle class more of us have to come up with creative ways to make ends meet. We give up our privacy and risk our lives being hosts.
The company has much to loose without us. Why don't the take care of us?
