The tabloid presses seem to have blunted Occam's razor. I have used AirBnB in the past and have come to realize that a lot of renters lose enthusiasm in time and simply don't respond - sometimes they respond half-apologetically after a week or two. Also, given that it's summertime, I wouldn't be surprised if a number of New Yorkers are on holiday (and perhaps ignoring their e-mails). I am pissed with AirBnB for how they've handled the recent events but speculating like this is just kicking them when they're down.
