Sadly, too many people now are afraid of conflict, even small conflict, they prefer to call the police rather than deal with others directly. They don’t want to deal with it themselves.

That anxiety I’m sure goes up with unknown Airbnbers, and so raises the likely good that people will probably call the police instead.

Sadly, too many people have become toxic. My first action is usually to talk to people, asking them to turn things down until I can't hear it. It works increasingly less over time. Instead I get people that turn the volume up. I am slowly moving towards calling the police first lately.

I would be very hesitant to call the police in the US given their reputation.

It shouldn't be my job to police some Valley company's profit center. They don't pay me a dime

But this stems from lots of people having bad experiences with obnoxious people who will not stop before the police is called.
