Hosts in Los Angeles are fighting a proposed 180 day cap on short term rentals in that city which would have other restrictions as well:

I'm not seeing how limiting the number of nights hosts can rent would reduce the need for house cleaners. Rather, the more hosting that goes on in a given city, the more work there is for house cleaners. And hosts are likely to pay these cleaners a higher rate than they are paid by hotels. For instance -- I pay my house cleaner $40 an hour for her work. I doubt that hotels pay their cleaners even $20 an hour.

“With all due respect, please do not make hasty restrictions that will negatively affect thousands of constituents and divert millions of dollars out of Los Angeles,” host Lynda Mitchell told the committee.
But union workers and the hotel industry say a cap is needed to protect hospitality jobs.
The rules would also cap the number of rooms a host can rent out, and hosts would only be allowed to rent out their primary residences. Second dwelling units on single-family properties would be banned as would temporary structures, such as trailers and tents.
