The things people do when staying in an Airbnb are different than if they lived there as a resident. Case in point, I rented one once to try it out. It was supposedly non smoking. The entire place reeked of cigarettes. Upon complaining to the owner, she said she had clear rules but the previous guests had been over smoking, doing drugs, the stripper they brought over wrote all over the mirror in red lipstick, etc. Now picture a situation where you live in a building that you picked because it seemed generally safe, quiet, etc. and seemed to have a certain kind of resident that you felt comfortable living with. That all goes out the window when a significant chunk of your building becomes a nightly revolving door. I'm not going to comment on the rent or housing issues. However there are plenty of reasons why people who live somewhere might be upset to see their building turn into such a place.
