Externalities caused by Airbnb opposers:
1. Block people's access to tourism
2. Worsen the economy by artificially cuts demand from supply
3. Hurt tourism workers including restaurants workers, etc
4. Create segregation which is partially what nativism is about
5. Hurt people who live there and love talking to travellers
If you don't want "other people" in your sight and zero nuisance, buy the entire street. Personal preference relying on inefficient resource allocation should be paid for.

I looked into this project (and related GPU pass through projects) a few years ago. Putting the discussion and even some issue tracking into a "support thread" in this forum makes getting information really difficult. It's the same experience when you want to install LinageOS and realize you have to go through a long thread on XDA and sometimes reddit to solve any issue you may have.

Should the US also ban foreign TV shows, music, books originated from totalitarian states? Because the producers are subject to the will of their governments and might be compelled into spreading propaganda although it has not happen?
I personally believe that freedom will prevail and this kind of race to the bottom towards censorship and executive branch unilateralism is sad.
