Living around people at any density has the same costs. Living in a city should have an implied contract that you will have these issues as costs, with numerous other things coming as benefits.

The issues of noise, trash, parking etc should be made to be internalized by those that bring the nuisance. There are noise laws, littering laws, and parking ordinances. Maybe adjustments are appropriate in some cases.

At the end of the day, anti-AirBnB laws are about control over your neighbor. The same things were said about home offices for years (and still are in some localities). The problem is, you can always point to antecdata to support your point, but we should be looking at individual violators of reasonable laws that uphold health and safety in a neighborhood - not using a blunt instrument to snuff out all new uses of property that come about because you don't like it.
