I live in Jersey City, and the high-rise apartment buildings on the waterfront are pretty much half landlord-operated AirBnB now, since Jersey City essentially absorbed all the demand from NYC which already banned short term rental. It's getting out of hand. I certainly welcome the ban.

I lived next to short term rental for a long time (and might still do, not sure). It's a mixed bag. Since it's short term rental it's empty half the time, which is good because I don't hear the noise from them. However during check-in and check-out time it takes a long time to get an elevator.

The only thing I am afraid of is whether the landlord would increase the rent to cover the lost revenue from short term rental.

I live next to an Airbnb unit. Never had a problem, with one exception of a renter’s pickup temporarily blocking the driveway.
