Wow, sounds like Airbnb has a great office space! Too bad they built their empire off of evicting middle and working-class people out of San Francisco. Yes, one of the main reasons that Airbnb became so successful is that so many people are getting evicting from their rent-controlled apartments in San Francisco to make room for entitled people to visit because they are too stingy to rent a hotel room even when they can afford. To make matters worse they have spread enough money around San Francisco politicians (Ed Lee, David Chiu, etc.) that these politicians bend over backwards to do Airbnb's bidding. The ultimate slap-in-the-face is that Airbnb bought it's way into San Francisco politican's cold hearts so effectively that they just passed a bill that Airbnb doesn't have to pay over $25 million in back taxes that it owes the city. So think about this the next time you are visiting Airbnb and ask them how they are able to afford such nice offices!
