I don’t know about other places, but Airbnb has been a mixed bag for NYC: I’ve seen it used to keep housing stock off the market, to dodge the obligations associated with keeping a property livable, and to essentially run entire illegal hotel businesses without attracting regulatory (including safety) scrutiny.

Also, tourists are the absolute worst to have as neighbors.

Warnings for noise complaints and rubbish don't really work if the person is just going to be gone by the time a third strike happens.

AirBnb in NYC is also a fertile ground for scams

Explain. I thought finding a high rated host is enough?

So it's ok if someone moves next to you, plays music all hours, leaves rubbish everywhere, and are generally annoying to live next to. And then the next week a whole new group of people move in forgetting any requests you made, but act the same way because they are specifically there for a fun weekend.

Also this stops you getting to know your neighbors and form a community and friends that live around you. Any improvements you make to the local area and street have the owner uninterested or pushing back because they do not want to invest in the area.
