The sharing economy was always a scam

When someone decides to turn their apartment until a hotel room, it affects all of their neighbours. They can't then decide not to participate in the sharing economy, it is thrust upon them unwillingly.

Then those people should amend HOA rules or move to some other place where they can sign a contract of no AirBnB. If the AirBnB hosts causes an actual loss make him pay for it.

At any rate the armchair philosophers should not advice others on what should be allowed or not.

How is complaining about a neighbor being an "armchair philosopher"? I hope the irony of your statement is not lost in you.

Apartment complexes don't have HOAs and sometimes it can be a huge hassle to contact your landlord to fix the sink, much less to investigate and shut down your neighbor's illegal Airbnb operation.

That’s up to neighborhood associations and their contractual arrangements.

The obvious solution here is to then share your apartment and go live in your nicer house.
