Going to be interesting to keep an eye on that urban vs non-urban mix.

Major urban centres around the world (eg. Barcelona, Berlin, Vancouver) are facing severe housing affordability challenges, and as part of the solution have enacted regulation against sub 30 day vacation rentals in apartments intended for long term rental to people who live and work in the cities.

You'd think that these regulations will keep a lid on Airbnb growth and force the company to place more emphasis on non-urban and tourism oriented towns that have less severe housing pressures.
