I used to live in a flat where I was the only permanent resident on the floor and the rest were Airbnbs. My life was hell while I lived there.
I don't think most people realise what a massive negative impact these places have on the people living near by. Even if you are a good guest you may not think you are having a negative impact but you are.
I think tourists have to understand that when they use Airbnb they are giving a massive middle finger to the locals. You do not have a right to a cheap holiday and it should not come at the expense of those just trying to live their lives.
This was in Hong Kong if anyone was wondering so all the America specific issues don't apply.
