>Almost every working class person who I have spoken to on the issue is very afraid of Airbnbs disappearing because of the direct and second and third order effects that economic activity generates.

Look up studies done on banning airbnb in Europe. It turns out that airbnb users contrubute significantly less to the economy than actual hotel people
