Let's get out of NYC for a moment and look around at other places.
Oh, look, perhaps mine! I'm in a suburb of Detroit (back to that in a minute). I have the privilege of also having a second home. Let’s call it an AirBnB (but primitive, not in the Winter). I am trying to spend as much time as I can in the second home while working [more than] full time.
The suburb I live in is a function of work. I live here to be close to work. Indeed, it was built for people who needed to be close to work (but, hmm, not in the city).
So when my place of work was liberated, when I no longer had to go to the office, I fled to the landscape, to the orchards, to the agri-culture. I even announced to family, friends and interested others, that I’d be spending the Fall “up north.” Ummm, “affording to bail” on my home.
That is, even the suburbs may be identified with corporate work. Leaving the city for the burbs may not be going far enough to satisfy the desire of people to live well.
So, if I’m in any way part of a bubble, is Airbnb an accelerator or a lagging indicator?
