Full Disclosure Briefing: Airbnb properties facing tighter regulations

What started off as an idea by a couple of guys in San Francisco who were having trouble paying the rent in 2008 – eventually became what we now know as Airbnb.

In just fifteen years, the company is now valued at over $90 billion. But not all cities and neighborhoods are excited about short-term rentals.

Roben Farzad, host of Public Radio’s Full Disclosure, and All Things Considered host Craig Wright talk about how new rules and regulations are changing the Airbnb game.

You can listen to Full Disclosure, hosted by Roben Farzad, each Saturday night at 8:00 on Radio IQ or wherever you get your podcasts.
