That's a fair point but a very different problem. It's easy for a city to limit the number of hotels being built to limit the number of annoyed residents like you, if they want to. It's not as easy to limit the number of apartments being used as airbnbs, because at time of sale or even city zoning, they're just regular apartments. So it's not about whether one is more annoying than the other, it's about controlling the amount of each.
