are we allowed to even debate this? Didn't HN pass a no negativity (http://blog.ycombinator.com/new-hacker-news-guideline) policy?

By the way, I completely agree with you. I actually live in Los Angeles county, and there NEEDS to be regulations regarding housing. This city is so crowded and congested.

For the record, I'm not against Airbnb, but city are zoned and regulated for a good reason. Airbnb needs to work it out with cities on how to allow their business to operate.



HN has a no gratuitous negativity suggestion / guideline. Like most rules on HN, it's not a strictly enforced, guard tower snipers, sort of line in the sand.

It's a strong hint to the community to cut back on negativity.

Emphasis on this: "Avoid gratuitous negativity" - the gratuitous part.


Don't you think the community should define itself though...
