I am sorry maybe people who own homes, have big savings or have great credit can say that, but at our arbnb we get many families that have had evictions and can't find apartments easily or they can't afford 1st, last and security in south florida. I have also used these short term rentals for a year to wait to save for 3000,00 back in 2014, now its at least 5 grand. Lots of us have this problem. Mayhap arbnb etc needs to be eliminated, not all weekly places. They were around before arbnb and vrbo. A law would make it all go away.
