Yeah sure airbnb will be affected but i dont believe the blow to them will be as big as for the homeowners in Barcelona who offer their homes for rent through airbnb

Airbnb will do just fine without Barcelona. Not even sure they will notice, to be fair!

They won't do just fine if everywhere starts doing this, and homes can actually go to residents, and not shit bag Airbnb landlords. Anything that keeps the investor class out of real estate is a good thing.
