This is what we do. There are plenty of B&Bs, and sites that rent houses - but houses that are registered and taxed as commercial property with all the required safety and other regulations followed as a hotel or B&B. I think that is the key.

Like Uber, Airbnb offloads the liabilty (cost) that a hotel, motel, etc. has to pay for onto the person staying at the Airbnb. That undermines actual commercial properties. It also skirts zoning. If a neighborhood is zoned as residential, you can't (IMO) legally be renting commercially.

I know some places around Minneapolis where I travel for business has banned Airbnb for exactly the reasons you listed. Good for them!
