San Francisco decided that fee can go on as it has done until now. Yesterday the inhabitants of the city where in 2008 he founded the startup that has revolutionized the world of short-term rentals were called to vote in a referendum Airbnb. The “no”, which won with 55%, rejects the argument of limiting rents to 75 nights a year with neighbors who can report possible violations.

Airbnb therefore well spent the money invested in the campaign in his defense (The Verge is about 8.3 million dollars). Among the supporters of the “it ” was the San Francisco Tenants Union, which represents the residents of San Francisco and that promotes the maintenance of affordable homes. The accusation is that Airbnb is pushing tenants in the long run by the Californian city. Within the majority that voted ‘no’, some say, by renting your property, you get extra revenue.
