While I deplore this bill and see it as another way so-called progressives/leftists stick it to the working man and woman, I also do believe that the state has every right to enact this law.

This bill had nothing to do with leftists or progressives. It's amazing me how people who buy right wing propaganda now categorize everything they don't like as "progressive" or "leftist". The HOTEL LOBBY basically paid for this law, as Airbnb is serious competition to them. The law cannot be held up in court, so Airbnb is using NYC and NYS and already the city and the state are in settlement talks.

Sure, it does. We see these kinds of restrictions and limitations on businesses like UBER and Airbnb overwhelmingly in leftist cities and states, not in conservative-leaning cities and states. Also, settlement talks say nothing about whether a law is ultimately lawful or not.

Likely that is what NYS/NYC is seeking to head off. Not only would a judicial ruling against the law be a slap in the face to the governor, and other elected officials involved, it also would force them back to square one. Depending upon what any potential negative ruling states it could also dramatically embolden AirBnB and its supporters.

Perhaps, but I'm not seeing a strong constitutional basis (the argument by some was that the law was unconstitutional) against this bill. Its often more advantageous to negotiate a settlement whereby you get the other side to come to an agreement to help enforce the law vs. spending time, money, and effort on litigation, even if your position is the stronger one.
