If there is demand why not cater to it rather than legislate against it. I'm not a hardcore free-market ideologist but in this case we should let the market decide and adjust our zoning/development policies accordingly so no-one has to bear the full brunt of compromise. Airbnb is a vast improvement over hotels and opened up a new travel market. I have literally decided not to go on holiday rather than stay in a hotel that offers half the convenience, functionality and location at triple the price. This is something that is completely missing from the narrative.
