You gloss over "other costs". Many anti-AirBnB people's concerns are precisely about those other costs.

It's evident in this discussion who are the people pushing the externalities onto others, and who are the people having to deal with them.

Can you give an example of an externality unique to AirBnB landlords that is pushed onto others and the others are unable to force the landlord into accepting responsibility for it?
