Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
hotels are controlled by laws and zoning, airbnb gets around that and turns planned living space into hotel space.
This is not a good thing, zoning laws often lead to higher rents because they constrain construction. They also lead to having to drive everywhere because your house is too far from anything that's not another house
This varies from place to place. This is handled really badly in some places and much better in others.
