I can't see Airbnb wanting to work with government in this way....I can't see them sharing lists of hosts with city governments. I and many others wouldn't want to see such massive privacy violations. I don't see why the author is confident this will happen. Airbnb has rerociously resisted all such data requests to date.

Instead of constant regulatory stalemates, what if companies and governments worked together to streamline the process? One tech company hopes to become the collaboration platform where Airbnb and cities like San Francisco can set aside their differences. Accela, a civic software company, says it has been in talks with companies like Airbnb and Uber to find a solution for their political woes. Accela believes it has the technology to solve regulatory problems — but implementing Accela’s tools will require bringing companies and governments to the table to work together, a challenge that could prove difficult.
To make this kind of system work, Airbnb would need to share a list of its hosts with city governments, so it could be cross-checked with a list of those who have registered with the city.
My money is on an Airbnb-Accela partnership over the next six to 12 months.
