... that they can't afford.

I don't think that's an ideal analogy. No-one sells meth legally.
It's more like selling people food prepared in your uninspected and potentially unsanitary kitchen, and complaining about being told to comply with the food hygiene regulations that every licensed business is required to adhere to.
It is when the decision being made negatively impacts housing availability.
Lots of people on this site are radicals in one way or another and my radicalization is zoning policy and the housing market disruption is has caused.
.
No, because it turns out there is a whole spectrum of regulation that is possible, and some regulations are more oppressive than others.
Same basic principle as hair stylists in the US needing more schooling than police, by law, which is similarly insane.
Oppressive regulations such as fire safety compliance?
.
Should a hair stylist require schooling and training? Yes, they put caustic chemicals on people's heads which can cause sever harm.
Should police have more training? Yes.
This isn't a good argument because the lack of police training has no bearing on the licensing and training of hair stylists.
Here's the take you are trying to get people to say, if you cannot afford to own a home without supplementing income by provided room rentals which are potentially unsafe and do not meet the bare minimum of fire code, then you cannot afford that house. It doesn't mean you don't afford a house. Just that you cannot afford THAT house. And I make no mention of "deserve housing" because all humans deserve housing.
Putting people's lives at risk to make a few extra dollars is unacceptable. You have no right to gamble with other people's lives.
Except people's lives aren't at risk because it's not like we've seen a rush of AirBnB deaths that caused this shift.
House fires and apartment fires take lives all the time. And that's for people who are living there.
It doesn't need to be specifically an Airbnb for us to ignore all the other fires that have occurred.
