No, but cities should definitely make sure that entire town/neighbourhood don't become AirBnB neighbourhood. They should make sure that you can only AirBnB your primary residence unit, can't AirBnB for more than X number of days/year and allow property management to blacklist the building if the condo bylaw says so. But despite the typical SV hubris of caring for the world and community, that'll hurt AirBnB's growth numbers and thus they won't do that.
Also, if you read the article, i live in the most affected neighbourhood of Spadina/Fort-York, and trust me if a hell on some Fridays and Saturdays. You'll see a group of 5-10 people from out of the city (could even be some 20 year olds from suburbs) rent a 1-2 bedroom unit, pre game, come home shit faced, sometimes puking in the elevator, destroying the lobby and hall ways, blasting music at 3 am, not giving a shit about people actually living in these condos.
