I kind of hate when people cherry-pick stats to be misleading, even if I otherwise support them.
The relevant number for NYC is not the percentage of hosts sharing a primary residence, but the percentage of total listings in NYC, or percentage of room-nights booked. I'm sure those numbers are far worse than 13%. Anyone renting non-primary residences is probably renting a lot of non-primary residences.
