As Airbnbs increase around the Obama Center, housing advocates worry
Published 1 day, 12 hours ago
Description
Four months ago, the organization behind the Obama Presidential Center held a workshop to teach South Side homeowners how to rent out their places on Airbnb.
Research has shown that Airbnbs contribute to higher rents and housing shortages.
Woodlawn, the neighborhood around the center, has long been considered an affordable area.
But now, housing advocates say longtime residents are being priced out.
