I have the same negative perception of AirBnBs in New York. I think the city also encourages hustler types, or people that are plugged in with local polls, who get away with everything they can.


You don't need to be a hustler or plugged in with local polls to get away with running a shoddy AirBnB, the site will happily let you do it and the space is completely unregulated.


What does the expression 'plugged in with local polls' mean? Is that a New Yorkism?


Should be ‘pols’, short for politicians.

I think it comes from newspapers looking to shorten headlines.
