Dismissing Uber & AirBnB as primarily/solely successful from exploiting legal loopholes is insulting and uninformed.

...ok, how? I understand it's "all about execution" but were there not explicit laws governing taxis and related services, as well as running a hotel out of your home? Did we as a society not choose to put those in place?
Vacation rentals have been around as long as, well, homes. We as a society absolutely did not choose to forbid Uber. In fact we love it.
