Police Seize 7 Vans Allegedly Used As Airbnb Rentals In Manhattan

[@theeconomicsofthings9752]

There’s nothing illegal about ainbnbing a van. They just seized them because of parking violations

[@rashad123us]

Yeah it is. AirBnBs in NY have to be occupied by the host. Otherwise it's an illegal AirBnB.

[@theeconomicsofthings9752]

@@rashad123us with Covid going on around… I’m sure that is waived some way

[@PHN-2024]

The owner of the Vans should had leased parking spots in garages or lots. Parking the Vans on NYC Streets was just being cheap and now there goes the business.

[@alephnull7410]

Good point besides the fact that the “business” consisted of using vans for Airbnb.

[@PHN-2024]

@@alephnull7410 There’s nothing illegal about “Renting” your Vehicle to someone. The listing said it’s a Van with Sleeping accommodations located in NYC. The Illegal portion of the Business is that the Vans were using the City’s Parking spaces without the City getting their “Cut” of the revenue.

[@ronque23]

Agreed. I guess they thought it would be easier to rent them to tourists if they could park them in attractive downtown nabes. If they had parked them in Queens or BK they could’ve avoided scrutiny.

[@Donique_23]

Wow, people turn a good thing into a shit thing every single time. It is actually a good idea they just need to find out how to make it legal and actually find a safe place to park them

[@scaldon2]

It's illegal for a reason. People can't do whatever they want. They're laws for a reason.

[@tybarker5038]

@@scaldon2 what’s the reason? People need affordable housing and this is somewhat of a solution. The laws are anti poor.

I heard you can build outdoor structures on the street and that is legal.

U heard wrong.

[@williamsawyer7698]

That was a good idea they should head a lot for the fans to park at

[@Valleygirl4lifeCreations]

They should buy the lot first

[@NinaBabyTV]

If there is a sucker out there, shit like this will continue to happen. Seriously, you have to be special to book an air B&B in some sketchy shit like this. Ever thought you’ll be robbed or murdered by their acquaintances?

ehh it's fine, you're just paranoid. I stayed in that exact red van one time.

[@tybarker5038]

I lived in a van for a year and a half. Never been robbed. Did get wronged at a guy’s place though. That’s why I prefer to sleep in a vehicle over a stranger’s house.
