> Unfortunately, a lot of other people have problems paying their rent or mortgage. 75% of Airbnb hosts in San Francisco say that their income from Airbnb helps them stay in their homes, and 60% of the Airbnb income goes to rent/mortgage and other housing expenses. Sources of this data? How many Airbnb people are putting out property they own vs those who are renting? It sounds like people are abusing it to stay in homes they could otherwise not afford, which is in itself adding to the housing problems in San Fran. Facilitating someone easily renting out their home, great. Allowing renters (and to a lesser extent home owners) subsidize their over extended living, bad.
