Default If so, it’s disheartening and dishonest

From the article… James Vaccaro said a man who operates an Airbnb told him that he has applied for hundreds of guest passes for those who stay there.

Vaccaro suggested that a $10 fee per pass might be affordable for residents who have a few guests a year, but more difficult for Airbnb operators.
“I don’t think we should be subsidizing anyone to use our facilities,” he said.
If so, it’s disheartening and dishonest. Just ban landlords from getting guest passes. One poster said they aren’t hardly used anyway. The problem would be solved and the solution is straight forward. No harm no foul for anyone.
