Cities and etc have zoning laws because it does matter what kind of activity happens next door.

I lived in a town house association where the unit’s being rented were the source of noise, trash, crime, etc.

People renting often don’t care as much for the neighborhood/ locals and they can move on at will. And you'd be surprised how much random citizen land lords are terrible at just being land lords.

After the numbers of rentals were reduced (and background checks required) the neighborhood improved greatly. It was like turning off a light switch on noise, litter, crime, etc...

Why should you have the unchecked right to disturb the peace of your next door neighbor?

You don’t have the unchecked right to disturb your neighbor anywhere in the US as far as I know. Who was suggesting anyone should?

Who tf claimed that? It's two completely different questions.

The issue is not Airbnb or not. The issue is guests etiquette and difficulty to penalize bad/loud/disrespectful people.

I generally agree with you. But unless you're allowed to knock down your house and build a 10 story apartment in it's place then the argument kind of falls flat.

Would you oppose a smelly wastewater treatment plant being built on the previously residential property right next to you? That's why they should get a say.

That’s not even remotely what we’re talking about.

Is it not? I think it's very comparable, you attempted to appeal to the freedoms of property owners but there are laws the govern the use of land wherever you go.
