Show Notes
Hoboken, New Jersey, is experiencing a surge in short-term rentals like Airbnb, attracting hosts due to the lack of regulations and the upcoming FIFA World Cup. However, this boom is causing concern among locals and housing advocates, who fear it will displace affordable renters and turn rent-controlled apartments into mini-hotels. City leaders are working on new laws to manage the situation, with options ranging from permits and taxes to outright bans. The challenge lies in balancing the influx of tourist dollars with the need to maintain affordable housing for locals.
