If you don't like the law, you can vote, run for office, volunteer, donate to a candidate or nonprofit, or bother your elected officials. I'm no fan of lobbying ("corruption in anything but name"—sweetheart gigs for sympathetic representatives once they get out of office), but it's legal for AirBnb to do this too.
In reality, you can do two things about it;
1. Like it
2. Absolutely nothing
This myth that an honest individual with good intentions can somehow influence the system is harmful and needs to die. If you're not a huge corporation or lobby group, your chances of getting a law changed is for all intents and purposes zero.
Airbnb, however, is a huge corporation with lots and lots of money. It's not a myth for them.
It's a high bar to clear (I certainly haven't cleared it), but to pretend it's impossible is the definition of cynisicm.
Step 1: Read article
Step 2: Resume cynicism
Aside: I hate South Park. The smug self righteous cynicism it engenders is just another cult, but for apathy.
Aside response: I don't watch South Park, so I don't know what you're even referring to.
I personally stopped my government from spending $15m on an unneeded ballot tracking system (it added voter ids to ballots, eliminating the secret ballot).
I have friends that made the DREAM Act happen. Ditto my state's legalization of weed and gay marriage.
But if apathy and despair is your thing, I'll stop here and let you get back to it.
Here are a few examples.
Gregory Watson got the constitution amended in 1992[0].
Reverend Warren H. Stewart got Arizona to declare Martin Luther King day a state holiday[1].
Richard and Maureen Kanka got Megan's law passed[2].

You could do any of those things, or you could do things that...actually work?
Other regulations, like more stringent fire codes for hotels, signage to fire escapes, sprinkler systems etc. are paid for with blood, not lobbyists.
You may have other regulations in mind though, that I don't know about.
1. The set of all arbitrary regulations which aim to limit supply.
2. The set of all arbitrary regulations which have the consequence of limiting supply.
3. The set of all arbitrary regulations which could conceivably have the consequence of limiting supply at any time in the future.
4. The set of all regulations which aim to limit supply.
5. The set of all regulations which have the consequence of limiting supply.
6. The set of all regulations which could conceivably have the consequence of limiting supply at any time in the future.
7. The set of all regulations.
If it's #1 and only ever #1, I'm with you.
