Well, you could include Craigslist in that, everything under the sun.
AirBnb/VRBO/Boooking.com all have their use.
The problem is when people rent/sublet their apt. in buildings that don't allow it, and cause nuisance to all.
Buildings should be able to opt out, and airbnb should respect it, and ban users that misuse it. But, i bet, in the name of profit, things get overlooked.
Anyways, if Airbnb is banned in a city, most of these apt will end up in VRBO/Booking.com/Craigslist, etc... etc... so it doesn't solve much. So, you have to ban all, and not just one. Is that realistic?
As always, it’s an issue of reach. AirBnB is the place to book non-hotel accommodations. Anyone who wants to can put their room or flat on there, and everyone who wants to find one knows where to look.

I think this is the part that kinda irks me though. Why would any building, township, city ever opt-in? You're specifically asking the people who have every incentive to say no while completely ignoring the renters and tenants who actually benefit from the transaction.
If you only ask the people who own property near where the city wants to build a new highway color me surprised when it's a resounding no.
