I'm shocked that the CEO of Airbnb would go out and try to get consumers angry about a policy which negatively impacts his business.

People who are not residents of New York (the customer base) have pretty much no leverage over a government entirely elected by the residents.

Of the residents, there are a lot more pissed off renters and neighbors than there are AirBNB hosts.
