People will do literally anything to address the housing crisis except for the one thing that works: build housing.
If you want to ban AirBNB for nuisance or other reasons, great. But don't pretend that this will create enough housing for people. It just removes one small sliver of demand, and acknowledges that the core problem is a supply/demand mismatch.
If you want to deny people's needs, limit them, at least be explicit about that too. Housing is a basic necessity of life. Why limit it?
