> I think everyone wins here.

One theory I have (and it may be wrong): is that part of the rise we've seen in housing prices is due to WFH and AirBnB.

Lots of people I've worked with who were WFH in the pandemic would spend a week (or a month) in a rental while they work, here and there. And during that time, their house/apartment would be empty.

Imagine everyone does that for (say) 3 weeks a year. That's a 6% increase in "housing usage". A 6% shock to the housing market is significant when supplies can't react quickly to the rise in demand.
