Wasn't there a study done that shows Airbnb hosts actually account for a small fraction of the homes? I'd really like to see these politicians back up these claims with some data. Where do they get this information from? It seems highly suspect that this could cause a decrease in units on the market that is anywhere close to affecting the housing problems in NYC. Whenever I see a politician throw out the word "senior" and "quiet enjoyment" I smell a rat. The more obvious answer is the hotels don't like this kind of competition (staying in an Airbnb is infinitely better than a Hotel) and have bribed these politicians. Wasn't Andrew Cuomo in the center of all the mortgage scandal stuff years back? Can this guy just go away?
