This isn't (just) about Luddism. In a city with a notoriously tight housing market, allowing what would otherwise be long-term residences to be converted into what are essentially hotel rooms is bad for the vast majority of residents. It's one thing to rent out your primary residence for a couple weeks while you go on vacation, but people are starting to buy up multiple apartments with the primary intention not of living there but of renting them by the day or week on airbnb.
