Tough case to crack, being that she was affiliated with so many, from her business contacts to the airbnb customers, to the people in China.

Palo Alto should outlaw airbnbs. They are bringing in strangers to Palo Alto like Motel 6's all over our family town, and the cars are a disruption to the peaceful neighborhoods, all in the name of greed.
