Globalization has nothing to do with this. The problem is that AirBnB reduces an already-tight housing supply by turning homes into hotels. This would be an problem regardless of whether the tourists were international or domestic.

Kinda ... globalisation is just a term for some change in the equilibrium in neighbouring markets that allow participants in one to take part in both. Could be transport costs, could be information changes.

I was thinking tourists == international, but the analysis and the name still is fair i think

Plus to be fair, America is a continent that thinks it's a country so ideas of international tourism are flexible ...
