Wouldn't it make more sense to use nuisance laws and actually enforce them to eliminate the problem rather than implementing arbitrary zoning restrictions?
The zoning laws seem to be used only because cities are not even trying to properly police the already in place nuisance laws.

Some municipalities could have laws that are able to handle short-term rentals while others could not. In a jurisdiction where the existing law doesn't address a problem caused by short-term rentals, a new law would not be arbitrary - in fact, it would be the exact opposite. > The zoning laws seem to be used only because cities are not even trying to properly police the already in place nuisance laws. If zoning laws are easier to enforce than nuisance laws, this could be an appropriate response.
