POLL: Is Airbnb Just a Charity for Struggling Real Estate Moguls?
The heated debate around Airbnb doesn’t seem like it’ll be cooling off any time soon. Findings show that roughly 58% of the room-share listings here in NYC are illegal, and earlier this year the city ruled in favor of evicting a rent-stabilized tenant for listing his apartment at triple the price of his rent. Those against Airbnb claim that it threatens the affordable housing market, and a new video that we recently featured takes a jab at this issue. Created by ShareBetter, the video titled “Save the Moguls” makes the case that Airbnb is just a charity for struggling real estate bigwigs. Though it’s satirical, many do agree with this claim. Are you one of them?
