I am sadly sorry to say this, but I think Airbnb in TV is “too big to fail.” It’s too late to get out in front of Airbnb with rules now. A lawsuit by TV resident homeowners would fail.

Ten or fifteen years ago when boomers were beginning to buy to be residents, nobody could have seen something the size of Airbnb coming. Now, buyers who want the feel of a neighborhood would be wise to be aware and then decide how that makes them feel. Airbnb hanging out there is just another factor to weigh in the decision to buy or not.

Will the far south end of TV start to attract families who are destination Disney? Or has that already started?
