New San Francisco's Airbnb Vote


Yesterday San Francisco voted against toughening rule on short-term rentals inwards the city. The Los Angeles Times has mapped the results. The Proposition F Results Map shows which precincts inwards the metropolis voted for in addition to against the measures in addition to the divergence betwixt yes in addition to no votes inwards each precinct.

Despite the rejection of novel tougher measures on short-term rentals, criticisms of the outcome of short-term rental companies on the housing marketplace don't await similar going away. Airbnb inwards detail seems to hold upwards inwards the firing business of many housing campaigners.


For example, Inside Airbnb has mapped the expose of 'whole houses' been listed on Airbnb inwards a expose of cities around the world. In San Francisco 57.4% of Airbnb properties are whole houses / apartments.

Inside Airbnb argues that the outcome of such a high expose of whole properties beingness listed on Airbnb is to withdraw much needed belongings from the housing marketplace in addition to tin likewise hold upwards disruptive to neighbors of these permanently short-term rented properties.


The San Francisco Chronicle has likewise been investigating the outcome of Airbnb on San Francisco's housing problems. The Chronicle's investigation, Airbnb's Impact inwards San Francisco, includes a map touchstone Airbnb action inwards the metropolis yesteryear neighborhood. The map includes 3 choropleth layers showing the expose of Airbnb listings yesteryear neighborhood, the average toll inwards each neighborhood in addition to the expose of reviews per neighborhood.

The Chronicle's map reveals that 4.8 percentage of hosts inwards San Francisco accept 3 or to a greater extent than properties. These ability users may good hold upwards commercial landlords exploiting the service to brand higher profits from short-term rentals rather than from renting out their properties to long term tenants. The outcome of this could hold upwards to withdraw much needed housing stock from the market. 

So, although Airbnb may accept won the battle over Proposition F, I suspect that the nation of war over short-term rentals inwards San Francisco may rage on a fiddling longer.
