There was already a similar discussion some time ago, I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT: Here it is:

The rules for max 60 days in Amsterdam (pre-existing but that seemingly noone respected) are now seemingly effective at AirBnB level, at least in theory:

and that may contribute to change (either increase or decrease) the numbers of "dots" (or maybe not).
The need for cleaning and maintenance is more or less directly connected to number of guests/nights rented, if guests go to AirBnB's they don't go to the hotels, and the SAME cleaners and maintenance people that used to work fulltime for the hotel will start working part time with the hotels and part time with airBnB's.
As long as the availability of AirBnB's actually increases the number of tourists/guests in a given area/city, that is "added wealth" otherwise it is "shifted wealth".
Conversely - since usually AirBnB's tend to be cheaper than hotels and other similar forms of accomodation, it is "shifted wealth with a reduced amount" (the lower price which is "lost" in favour of the customer + the AirBnB commissions that go somewhere else).
As a side effect the same apartment that was rented for a "decent" price to a local is now used in AirBnB, so the locals must pay much higher prices for long term length.
