With major cities that are in demand, long-term rentals on AirBnb can disturb housing equality and rent control programs. So we hear about long-term rentals being curtailed a lot.

The states don't need to address what's already being addressed by the major cities, unless it's a big problem outside of the major cities because the housing demand isn't as high. The long-term rental issues aren't as bad outside of the major cities. The short-term rental issues, however, are a bigger issue, because those living in a less urban area have more expectation of knowing their neighbors.

You say “can”, but I live in one of those cities and I assure you it’s not a possibility but a reality.

Oops. Unnecessarily using a qualifier is a mistake, albeit one made while trying to avoid making other mistakes. I stand corrected.
