Show Notes
Auckland University researchers have identified links between more Airbnbs in neighbourhoods and higher crime-rates.
The findings —which use Auckland region census data— show it leads to lower house prices.
It highlights how Airbnbs replace long-term owner occupiers with short term occupants, which can erode the anti-crime capability of the community.
Higher density neighbourhoods —like those with apartments— are more affected than areas with single family houses.
