Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

You already own real estate, why exploit people with it when you can just live in it and stop renting?

If only it were that easy my friend.

Let me guess: you own real estate in neighborhoods you wouldn't want to live in in hopes of extracting enough capital from your tenants so that you can buy your own home in a neighborhood you do want to live in.

You're exploiting people poorer than you so that you can become richer.

You're not one of the good ones...

That's quite a lot of assumptions. And they're all incorrect.
