Great. Pick hotels. Why do you need to ban airbnbs? As a user of both the presence of airbnbs gives people a choice and sometimes one is clearly better than the other.

Problem is those who don't use certain services love banning them and pretend they're fixing some unrelated problem.

I don't think I wrote anything about banning AirBnBs one way or the other. By and large, my feeling is communities/municipalities/etc. should have pretty wide latitude about regulations they enact. And if voters en masse don't like it they'll presumably elect someone to do what they want--though of course that takes time.
It's the locals, not the tourists staying in hotels, that want to ban Airbnbs.
