Not all people who host on Airbnb would rent those same rooms out long term though. It is common for people to live in a home and not have every bedroom occupied by a car owning adult. Sometimes the extra rooms are used as offices or guest bedrooms or children's bedrooms. I have no idea when my neighbor would be doing otherwise.

My point though was less about Airbnb causing the problem and more about stating that city officials need to think about how these sorts of scenarios affect citizens when they are making planning decisions.

Would there be enough parking with all of the bedrooms in this complex were occupied by a driving adult?

Or what happens when the condo design had to include a two-car garage, but tenants use the garage as storage and then park on the street?
