    Isn't there a legitimate problem with people renting AirB&Bs to specifically to throw wild parties, so they don't have to give a shit about the neighbors? I mean, having your neighbor's place all the sudden turn into an unauthorized hotel is annoying enough, but it's be even worse if the hotel guests are also throwing parties. It seems like this devices is actually a conscientious way to try to limit those negative externalities.
