Okay, then ban it (at least until tight regulations are enforced well) because locals hate it too. :-) It guess it's a bit hypocritical for me to say that as I've used airbnb to live in and visit various countries, but I also have seen how inconsiderate and downright rude short term renters can be. It's good that airbnb wants to be regulated, but bigger businesses can easily deal with tight regulations, whereas it's much harder for small newcomers. -Obviously- Airbnb will prefer policies that gain it public favor while also making it harder for competitors.
