Airbnb agree to share host information with NYC Govt

Ending a years-long skirmish over complying with short-term rental regulations, Airbnb and New York City reached a settlement that requires Airbnb to provide the city with host information, including names, physical addresses, phone numbers and emails. If hosts don’t consent to the data transfer, they would be barred from listing their properties on the platform.

@Austine0 so that's a good thing right? Stopping tax avoidance? 

Thanks for the update,

Cheers, Charles
