One problem in Boulder is that various entities (people, speculators, etc.) can be more aggressive about investing in affordable property, especially condos and smaller houses. Which they then operate as distributed, high-margin hotels. I don't think this is what Airbnb had in mind anyway, and it's obviously going to cause friction as the range in property costs collapses up into the high end (which is holding relatively constant). Boulder is a tough market by design, but anything with this sort of impact is going to be closely scrutinized and evaluated for long term effects on the community.
