One is mostly helpful (building housing) and one is mostly detrimental (banning airbnb).

How is banning AirBnB detrimental to the housing problem if it's also contributing to the lack of housing supply?

Indirectly: AirBnB can make buying a house more affordable by providing passive income to the home owner that could in theory be used towards mortgage payments etc.

Banning Airbnb can be detrimental to the local economy, as well as the freedom for residents to do what they want with their property.
