HN puts a convenient, though subtle, "web" link on the comment page that bypasses the paywall by Googling the title.

Presumably a bunch of us maintain FT subscriptions.

#8Random idea. What if, there was AirBnB equivalent endorsed by local city letting it control rules.
Currently AirBnB do some arbitrage based on regulations: change residential zoning to hotel one.
E.g. startup does infrastructure, but let city control what going on in exchange for enforcing rules. AirBnB seems easy to crack down as almost all listing are semi-public.
