  Starting today, we are banning “party houses” and we are redoubling our efforts to combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct, including conduct that leads to the terrible events we saw in Orinda. Here is what we are doing:

  We must do better, and we will. This is unacceptable.

  I have directed Margaret Richardson from our Executive Team to oversee this new team and initiate a 10 day sprint to review and accelerate the development and implementation of these new safety initiatives.

  First, we are expanding manual screening of high-risk reservations flagged by our risk detection technology.

  Third, we are taking immediate action against users who violate these enhanced guest policies, including removal.

  Everyone talks clearly about the customers they want. No one talks clearly about the customers they avoid. It's the often hard to figure out until they become obvious. Understanding both is essential for your brand and great leadership. https://twitter.com/...

  This was a tragic incident.We are hopeful you can make meaningful changes @Airbnb that hold property owners and renters accountable for their actions in our community. Working with law enforcement should be part of your efforts. https://twitter.com/...

  Kudos to @allie_conti - her article on @airbnb scamming fake hosts had led to a public and (relatively) quick response. #journalism works. Read her article. https://www.google.ca/... https://twitter.com/...
