AirBnB should have never been allowed in an existing building. If you want to have a short term rental build a new building for it.
I think it was a good idea that went off the rails.
Let's say you were going to go on vacation for a week or two, then you could rent your house to someone for that time period and make a little money to cover your vacation while someone else gets a place to stay that was cheaper than a hotel while they're on vacation. Everybody wins.
But then people started turning it into a business and ruined it.
