A new state law that overturns local bans on Airbnb aims to make Arizona a national leader of the sharing economy.
John Broussal and his wife moved into their Phoenix neighborhood thinking they were buying into a quiet area with well-kept homes.
But for a month in 2015, Broussal said it felt like they lived across the street from an “unmanaged fraternity house.” Music blared from the cozy, two-story residence, and at times more than 20 cars jammed the driveway and narrow street. The home’s temporary occupants and their visitors left trash and broken bottles strewn about the property.
