Wouldn't that be the role of insurance? I don't see how bringing the government into this benefits anyone except maybe NIMBYs.

Do you think that the neighbors of an Airbnb renter who were constantly woken up by rowdy visitors would be able to benefit from insurance? The loss of quality of life is an intangible thing that's hard to prove or quantify. The recourse they currently have, of complaining to the landlord and getting the Airbnb renter evicted for violating the terms of their lease, is much more effective.
