OK, but this article is talking about significantly higher hotel prices ("big boost in the arm"), while any estimate of the fraction of housing units allocated to airbnb implies insignificantly lower housing prices, so your desired tradeoff is not happening.

I mean this just became law. Shouldn't we wait a bit for things to shake out before taking such hardliner stances?

Travel is a luxury, housing is a necessity. I stay in a hotel maybe 8-10 times a year and the other times it's paid for by work. I can afford modestly more expensive vacations, but housing prices are much more of a concern for most.
