Local Governments Restricting STRs

[Emanuel Blando]

On 5/3/2023 the City of Kansas City, MO announced that Short-Term Rentals will be completely banned in ALL residential zoning!  I had not taken it seriously until I read a couple of articles outlining their plans.  Most of Kansas City's STRs were already operating 'illegally' up to this point and the city doesn't have the resource to enforce their permitting requirements.  Just 7% of KC's BNBs were permitted.  But now they plan to enlist the help of the platforms like Airbnb in enforcing their law by requiring Airbnb to not list any properties that have a KC address, with heavy fines on hosts for not complying.  (links about all this below)

What I want to know:  Is there anyone that knows of other cities that have taken similar measures?  Has the government been successful in getting the cooperation of Airbnb and other platforms?  How does it all go down when a city begins to ban bnbs?
