It’s related in that mass amounts of AirBnB are only sustainable when you have a lack of hotel supply. Unlike a shortage of housing, though, a shortage of hotel space is agreeable to most voters if not downright desirable; short term visitors don’t have any incentive to respect property or their neighbors. If you get a noise warning for your stag party does it matter if you’re leaving in three days? And the kitschy businesses that rise up to serve tourists are also often awful and push out other commerce.

Go to a major tourist destination and they all have their own Checkpoint Charlies or Times Squares that the locals hate and would like to keep as much of the tourist activity quarantined there.
