Wonder why they don't include AirBnB in that? Oh, yeah, I forgot, they're totally not a hotel, right?

- nostromo 3y agoAirBNB is all but banned in NYC. So the hotels are full of migrants, not tourists, and there are few other options, which further hurts the local economy.
- woodruffw 3y agoTourism numbers are rapidly approaching pre-pandemic highs[1], with the main inertia being Asian tourism, not a lack of hotel availability. The city really shouldn't be attempting to house migrants in midtown Manhattan, but doing so isn't actually appearing to hurt tourism numbers.
