I think that many would agree that it's "bad" for the full-time residents of the buildings in which an AirBnB short-term rental units are located. There are very legitimate security, privacy and safety concerns that these residents have as a result of AirBnB being inside their buildings.

Furthermore, unit owners in these buildings paid for their homes with an expectation, based on the law, that their building would not be used in this manner. By violating the law in this way, the AirBnB landlords are affecting the value of these unit-owners' property.
