Now it's not the city of San Francisco cracking down, it's Airbnb cracking down.

I'm very surprised that the large majority of the listings pulled, 580 out of 923 or 62% were shared rooms!! I would not have thought someone would be putting up a listing for a shared room in a place that they themselves didn't live -- or maybe most of those came under the title of "not offering the best possible experience"?

Airbnb instituted its "One Host, One Home" policy in San Francisco in April 2016. Of the 923 listings the company has pulled over the last year, it says 317 were entire homes, 26 were private rooms and 580 were shared rooms. Airbnb said in its report these listings could either "impact long-term housing availability" or didn't provide the "best possible experience on our platform."
The "One Host, One Home" policy has a few exemptions. People are allowed to have more than one listing if they include long-term rentals, traditional bed and breakfasts, licensed hotels, in-law units or the home is being managed by a friend or family member. The company says 12 percent of all Airbnb rentals in San Francisco qualify under these exemptions.
