I think your right - hosting parties could present various issues i.e. building restrictions, HOA rules etc. But do think it could work if the event is not necessarily a party? Say for instance your a suburban mom and your looking for a play date for your kids for Friday afternoon. You hop on the app and you can see which families are hosting a play date on Friday. Think of it as an app that tells you in real time what events are happening in either your immediate vicinity or a specific area of interest.

If you had nicer homes signed up, I could see MLM people renting them out to host their gatherings to sell whatever it is they are selling… if it would be financially viable. I think that community has a lot of fake it till you make it attitude.
I wonder if garages or workshops would be an option. Some cities have maker spaces, for people who need some tools or space, but don’t have access to a shop or the money to buy a bunch of tool. Being able to find a nearby neighbor who has some tools and some space to build a one off thing could be interesting.
If specifically looking for things where events are posted and public, I think it then starts crossing into the Meetup space. More recently when I browse that site it seems more and more meetups require membership and are limited in the number of people that can sign up. I think this is inevitable, as few places can handle an unlimited number of people, and they want to keep out the creeps and weirdos.
