It is a problem because it abuses/avoids zoning laws and is generally disingenuous, making it hard to conduct public policy and regulate markets.

Ah, ok, so it's a problem for some people.

It's a problem for me that regulation and zoning increases the cost of living.

AFAIK, uncontrolled AirBnB usage is directly contributing to rising rents in SF and Toronto. It cuts both ways.
