Still not sure how localities in the US haven't bothered to shut down AirBnB.
Which is funny; not sure how it would work in France, but many US jurisdictions have profoundly vicious civil forfeiture laws, where a local (not even talking about state or federal, just a town/county/city) police force can seize property thought to be used in or related to criminal activity, and keep it for themselves. Or auction it off and keep the proceeds.
Running an unlicensed hotel is a crime in many jurisdictions. As is operating a hotel with fire-code or safety violations.
If you start seizing buildings from people, word will get around quickly. Especially in the nicer neighborhoods.
