Why solve a problem when you can just nuke it, right?
I hang out with AirBnB investor folks. There's a simple solution that works: Require the owner live on the property. Every AirBnB investor will skip the city/county if that is the rule, but still leaves room for legitimate residents to make some money (e.g. rent out the basement, etc). The latter isn't taking housing away from anyone - for most owners it's not economical to convert the basement to make it a long term rental.
