I'm not debating how society should be set up, I'm talking about how parts of the society can live differently.
This debate reminds of people complaining that they couldn't bring their kids in a bar...
- HWR_14 6y agoThe claim that AirBnB is good because it enables #vanlife is countered by it is bad because it hurts #familylife. The analog relevant to your "kids in a bar" would be if you were arguing about "eliminating liquor licenses leads to everyone opening a bar in their living room, leading to more ragers for me". It would be true, but still requires kids to, at a minimum, live next door to a bar. The point is we have a limited resource (housing) to be divided up. Allowing (including by not banning via new laws) AirBnB to exist skews the housing market in one direction.

Allowing (including by not banning via new laws) AirBnB to exist skews the housing market in one direction. You had it right in the first sentence, currently housing is the bottleneck in some cities that refuse to build more (like SF). I think anger should be directed there, not at people who want to travel and stay at someone's place instead of a hotel.
