I agree there are many other AirBnB competitors. If AirBnB went away 100% and these competitors stepped in to fill that gap, I'm not sure the neighborhood impact is reduced by much. I mean, I've rented on vrbo, homeaway, booking, expedia, and airbnb.

Regardless of which platform I booked on, I'm the same tourist when I show up.

I don't know anything about vrbo and homeaway, but booking and expedia do not eskew local tourism regulations, AFAIK. That's one of the problems with AirBnB.
