> In the past year, only about 340 units in SF were rented on Airbnb more than 211 nights ...
For the purposes of Prop F, statistics that seem more relevant are
- how many units are rented more than 90 nights (the current law) [1]
- how many units are rented more than 75 nights (as proposed by Prop F)
When I see AirBnB supporters focusing on a number that doesn't seems as relevant, it feels like spin to me.
> The median number of trips per unit was 5, and mean was 13.3.
Interesting shift here to talking about trips per unit, rather than nights per unit. Back in 2012, the average stay was 5.5 days [2]. So does that mean that the average number of days per unit is 71.5 (5.5 * 13)?
Also, according to the Chronicle [3], out of the 5,459 listings in 2015, "205 hosts have three or more listings. These super hosts account for 4.8 percent of all hosts, but control 993 properties — 18.2 percent of Airbnb’s local listings." I didn't see anything in Sam's post or the other anti-Prop F posts that discusses this.
