79.8% of AirBnbs in Cape Town are made up of entire homes and apartments – what’s the impact on housing availability?

According to the InsideAirBnb.com website, there are 20 583 AirBnb listings for Cape Town, with 79.8% of them being made up of entire homes / apartments, and not just spare rooms within homes. It is argued that this is having an impact on available housing stock for a growing city such as Cape Town. Lester Kiewit speaks to Dr Giséle Chloé Lavita, LLD graduate from Stellenbosch university, whose research topic was specifically on AirBnb and the law. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
