Hi, Yocencia, I could hardly agree more! Thank ;you for posting such a comprehensive discussion. 

I guess I'm lucky beause in Vermont the state requires AirBnB to collect local taxes so I don't have to do it. 

Also, I find the lack of a lot of competition in my particular region of the state causes the algorithm  for Smart Pricing to do crazy things: for instance weekdays cost more than weekends!

And I completely agree with your point about the TV requirement. I've complained about that myself a number of times. For one thing it's completely outdated! Today's electronic devices can get virtually whatever you want from movies and videos and documentaries and news segments just fine. Who needs TV anymore? And as you point out many people and families come to rural areas specifically to avoid the rat-race of constant news and programs. Yes, games and puzzles and books and outdoor activities of all kinds are what they are seeking.
