I haven't seen cities like NY or SF themselves proclaiming Airbnb is evil, or bad intentioned. It's not about friction of markets here, it's about a city having the capacity to house people.

Of course it's not a black and white problem, but I am far more sympathetic to cities struggling to house everyone who actually want to live there and could care less about airbnb's inventory problem.
