Airbnb has over 2 million listings in 191 countries, offering travellers an afforable and well-located rental option in cities around the world.
Earlier this year, Berlin banned people from renting entire flats on the platform in order to prevent a housing shortage in the German capital. Could a similar situation occur in the United States?

This chart shows the percentage of active Airbnb listings that are commercial across U.S. cities in 2016.
