Philadelphia locals are divided over a crackdown that could remove 85% of Airbnb and Vrbo listings.
A local Airbnb host said it's unfair and doesn't support it, even if it means less competition.
The move could eliminate 85% of short-term rentals, or nearly 1,700 pads, according to the city's own estimate.
It's a tiny window that seems unfair, local host Rob Brown told Insider.
As a local, she's also experienced disturbances with short-term rentals in the area.
