In Australia, they have a similar situation and their response to it has been equally mixed. Australia's drinking age is 18, and as such, many high school students will celebrate the end of formal schooling with a week long party known as Schoolies.
Surfer's Paradise and the Gold Coast saw >40k students in 2011, about 10% of the total number of graduates, and the event is gaining in popularity. Other locations also see a large influx of young adults reveling together one last time before life comes at them. Many of these beach towns have had a pull-and-tug relationship with the event and short-term rentals have always been a part of it.
So, the issue is not AirBnB and it's effects. It's that young people tend to be inconsiderate.
