of course no one wants an air bnb neighbor. when you own a house and the property next door is a renter that’s worse than an owner there full time. what if a fence needs to be replaced on the property line? you think that owner will care as much? you put so much of your money and value into property that you want everyone around you to do the same. the shared investment makes everyone try a little harder. short term visits or even renters don’t share the investment and don’t care

This is equally true of a apartment block full of long-term tenants (at least in Australia). If none of the owners live there then they have precious little incentive to fix things and the tenants have no power.
