And those obstacles are not going away anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>Now, city officials in Paris are blaming the company for declining populations in some of the city\u2019s neighborhoods. One official even called it \u201ca catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And they might have a point. Since Paris is one of the top destinations for Airbnb, many residents have taken to renting out their homes or apartments for most of the year and then purchasing other residences elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Airbnb likely isn\u2019t the only factor responsible for the drop in population. But even the perception could lead to more regulations for the company and its users. For example, the city could increase taxes on second homes in the city, which would make it more costly for people who want to rent those\u00a0spaces using Airbnb or a similar service.<\/p>\n<h3>Be Ready for The Side Effects of Business Disruption<\/h3>\n<p>Obstacles like this are likely to be fairly common for <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2016\/10\/what-is-disruption-small-business.html\" >disruptive<\/a> startups like Airbnb. Since it\u2019s completely changing how some people live and work, it can have some ancillary effects that weren\u2019t exactly expected. But it\u2019s important that that any disruptive business, large or small, be able to navigate the side effects of business disruption and come up with solutions as the need arises.<\/p>\n<p><small><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic-375336109\/stock-photo-paris-paris-in-summer-paris-eiffel-tower-eiffel-tower.html\" >Paris<\/a> Photo via Shutterstock<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<p>This article, &#8220;<a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2017\/01\/side-effects-of-business-disruption.html'>Airbnb&#8217;s Paris Problem Shows a Common Issue for Disruptive Startups (Watch)<\/a>&#8221; was first published on <a href='https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/'>Small Business Trends<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?a=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/SmallBusinessTrends?i=0ZocXUoOBuY:XyXrrRgxZfc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/SmallBusinessTrends\/~4\/0ZocXUoOBuY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airbnb&#8217;s growing problems are extending across the ocean to Paris, too in this example of the side effects of business disruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11203\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businessnewsbox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
