I think tax avoidance may actually be a big part of this. Not sure how AirBnB reports payments to owners, but if she doesn't have a license to rent, there's a good chance she also doesn't have a biz license and doesn't report at least some of that income.

She's not a big business, but as a fellow small biz owner, if a service you provide is the source of literally all your income it's def. a business. And yes, businesses have to follow some rules. Esp. businesses that can involve the health and safety of your customers.

No. We held on for a long time but the reporting on many issues is sketchy at best. I was tangentially involved in a news story they covered extensively and they truly just ignored a huge relevant portion -- despite having the information. They definitely put a spin on some stories. I actually tend to agree with their biases in most cases, but I want objectivity from my news, not to be told the progressive party line.
