Airbnb began with a humble idea — help people live like a local, with locals. Are they truly owning that, or is it time to pay the rent?
From their humble beginnings as a site for staying with locals, Airbnb has grown to an influential force that shapes the way millions of people live and travel globally. Today, they have 5.6 million listings in over 220 countries.
In this episode, we explore Airbnb’s role in gentrification and housing shortages with activist Murray Cox, the founder of an independent data platform called Inside Airbnb. Then, we are joined by former New York City Councilman Ben Kallos and Executive Director of Jane Place, Veronica Reed to explore ways that Airbnb might take a new path.
Guests:
Murray Cox - Founder, Chief Data Activist, Inside Airbnb
Ben Kallos - Digital at USDS and former New York City Council Member
Veronica Reed - Executive Director at Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative
