It's not an either-or thing, that's the thing. You can get more regulations (the 'with teeth' being the key part as in many major cities AirBnB hosts short term rentals that are illegally on the short term market) and want the company shut down too. It also doesn't help that AirBnB doesn't do anything to help countries in terms of finding these illegal letters, or in taxes (this might have changed, but I know it used to be an issue in Ireland where AirBnB didn't collect the taxes and it was up to the owner to pay, with expected results), yet loves to take advantage of them.
