As opposed to having your rental be burned down by a long-term renter? That's an oddly specific preference..

a long term renter has a much greater vested interest in preserving the quality of life of the community and mitigating impact on the neighbors.

the fire safety issue is a bit of a red herring. that's something that is the responsibility of the landlord and the local fire safety inspector anyway, not really part of the long term vs short term rental debate.

the issues related to ABB tenants are about their lack of responsibility and accountability within the community, since they will be gone (forever) in a short period of time. the issues related to ABB hosts is that they evade regulations that their competitors cannot evade, and that (in some situations) they violate community laws or norms that exist for good reasons.

Which was the only point I was making.

> that's something that is the responsibility of the landlord

So you agree it's red herring because fire safety is already regulated..

> the issues related to ABB tenants are about their lack of responsibility and accountability within the community

If I could demonstrate that responsibility and accountability were already regulated in communities - would you agree that your objections are red herring as well?
