My city in AZ just passed an ordinance that requires any short term rentals to have a permit, the owner must be able to respond to the property within 60 minutes, AND there must be a verified neighbor reachable 24 hours of the day and verified.

That should put a significant dent in landlord rent seeking behavior.

Amsterdam been more aggressive, you can rent a full home only 30days/year, the rest you have to live there.

But it also takes away from the original nature of AirB&B which is rent out your home while you're away or your personal second home
