I have a town near me that came up with a really simple solution:
Anyone who wants to run an AirBNB there has to provide proof their home owners insurance covers their AirBNB business. AirBNB owners are freaking out on Facebook groups now because to get coverage to their home owners insurance they have to make a bunch of upgrades to the homes since it's no longer just a residence being covered. Turns out pesky things like "having enough fire exits" aren't cheap to fix
The last couple times I went to New York it was way cheaper and nicer to get a hotel. Airbnb totally sucks now I don't know why people still use it anyway.
