As someone living in a "touristy" area, and who has close friends, workmates and relatives who have been evicted because of the ridiculous increase of the rent prices in the last 3 or 4 years, I also seriously hope Airbnb's business model gets relentlessly banned everywhere.
I haven't personally experimented sharing a building with an Airbnb rented flat, but I know a few people who have. Saying that they are not happy is an understatement.
I've also heard about tenants (normal tenants, i.e. rented by the month) who rented one of the flat's rooms in Airbnb, which in the end caused complains from the neighbours to the flat owner. IIRC this is illegal in my country, but it's not like that is much of a deterrent, apparently.
Seriously, fuck Airbnb. They are the number one cause of the decrease in purchasing power and quality of life in my area in the latest year, and believe me, that's saying something.
