There was a shooting near my house on New years Eve, someone rented an AirBNB to throw a party and a rival gang member did a driveby. This could be your neighbors...
Some localities have written new code to address these kinds of issues.
Which is a good way to deal with these problems - locally. Then any owner of multiple dwellings has to fight the local councils in every location. This makes it much more difficult for them, while also keeping regulation in local hands.
It's not perfect, my council has done some really good things, and also made some unfortunate decisions. But they're responsible to me and my neighbors, not someone in DC.
I'm in a fairly large city so hotel chains have been fighting AirBNB for a while calling it temporary housing, and needs similar regulations a hotel // casinos have to abide by. This has given them a lot of fuel for that fire.
