If/when issues occurred, deciding not to rent would be closing the barn door after the horses got out. In our litigious society someone would come looking for money from whoever it was that created the situation that led to the issue. I'm surprised Orlando and NYC aren't concerned about this, just as I am surprised there apparently have not been any issues to report on.

If the County wants to make rules regarding Air BNBs, they will do it. It doesn't need a referendum and a license is already required in Florida. No further steps needed.
What enforcement costs? You think they are going to pay someone to knock on every door? That is not how it works. For example, gun laws in Florida. No one strictly enforcing but it is a law. If you get caught, you pay the price. The same will be with Air BNBs. Most neighbors will report violators and that is how they will get caught.
