According to a report released by public sector management consulting firm Harvey Rose, between 950 and 1,960 units in San Francisco have been effectively removed from the housing market by hosts like AirBnB and VRBO, which are renting out entire units for more than 58 days. This number represents up to 23.2 percent of the city’s vacant units, causing a public debate on how to regulate short-term renting websites which are, reportedly, pushing people out of their neighborhoods and causing an increase in evictions.
