I have somewhat of a 'not in my backyard' opinion of Airbnb. I have admittedly used the service multiple times, but since I moved into a new house I've changed my view on the business model.
Our neighbour Airbnbs multiple rooms in his house full time. He barely has parking for 3 cars, 2 cars if you don't want to be boxed in. However he rents out room for 6 people. He constantly has business moving through his house, occasionally his guests encroach on our driveway which is adjacent to his.
The city has not been able to catch up with the modern world and has no policy or licensing for Airbnb style businesses.
The pandemic has had zero impact on his ability to rent out rooms, it's always full.
TLDNR: I wish I had a neighbour and not a business next to me in a residentially zoned street.
