Good article but I think you are being disingenuous in a few places. For a start, AirBnB is not a monopoly. There are numerous large players in this space, and VRBO is the only one most have heard of but consider companies like Landings that own a lot of apartment properties.

Sweeping up things like speeding and village disruption is hardly an AirBnB issue. You'd be making the same argument if a large hotel chain set up in or near the village, or even a series of local, independent B&Bs. Or even a Walmart. Interestingly, are you aware 90% of speeding in a small village or town is committed by its own residents? So your argument here doesn't hold water.

I don't think freeing up all the AirBnB properties is going to influence the homeless problem at all. You think that these free properties are magically going to have affordable rent. People are homeless because they can't afford ANY rent in modern-day US. That's not AirBnBs problem either.

I think your anger would be better spent towards corporate interests that buy up housing and rental properties, not AirBnB. I would much prefer an entrepreneur getting the money than a greedy Blackrock or whomever.
