Airbnb, for its part, disagrees. "This report uses misleading data to make false claims and attack middle class families who share their homes and use the money they earn to pay the bills," company spokesman Nick Papas told the Examiner. "The overwhelming majority of Airbnb hosts are middle class people who occasionally share only the home in which they live and while Airbnb hosts keep 97 percent of the price they charge for their listings, hotels take most of the money they earn out of the community." Whether or not this study, which comes just over two months after voters rejected a ballot measure designed to increase regulations on short-term rentals, will change the way the public thinks about companies like Airbnb remains to be seen. It should, however, provide an extra incentive to city officials looking to crack down on scofflaw hosts. Related: City Cracks Down On Airbnb/VRBO Law Violators, Issues $400,000 In Penalties
