Airbnb Isn't the Problem They Want You to Think It Is
Manage episode 512455015 series 1490683
Australia's housing crisis dominates the headlines, but are short term rentals like Airbnb really to blame? Politicians, media and commentators keep pointing the finger at property owners – yet new research from the University of South Australia shows restrictions and taxes on short term rentals do little to improve affordability or supply.
In this episode, we break down the myths, look at the evidence, and explore why governments keep scapegoating Airbnb hosts instead of tackling the real causes of the rental crisis. We'll also unpack what this means for renters, property investors and Australia's tourism industry.
If you want fresh insights into housing policy, property markets and the future of affordable rentals, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
