I wrote the article, so I'll add some questions for you here.
From all the time I've spent running searches on the site that 90% number seems very high, but since I don't have access to the database like you I can only ask follow up questions rather than refute it.
Does this number represent unique users or simply accounts?
For those that are renting the home they live in, what's the average number of nights they make available per year?
What would you say is the percentage of the available rooms on the site that come from people who have more than one listing in a market? 40%? 50%?
For people who have more than one listing, what's the average number of nights available per year for each unit?
Will Airbnb introduce a system for removing hosts who are in obvious violation of local laws? For instance, the hosts listed in my story, where they shared 19 units between three accounts.
