It's high time communities start regulating the so-called 'app economy'. Monetizing everything into a global marketplace is great when your income is orders of magnitude greater than the global average. This is exploitation pure and simple.

Yet all common folk uses Airbnb for short rentals unless you are rich enough to afford a Hotel. Sure some regulation is required, but would you rather have a few Hotel chains corner the market on short stays and rentals?

Where I am AirBnB is generally around the same cost as a hotel. It used to be cheaper but not anymore.

Everyone wants to be paid a lot and have lots of cheap options to consume. This is untenable. I'd rather everyone have affordable homes than affordable holidays.
