Just gonna leave this here. Pick your favorite city.
edit: guess we killed it. But there are a lot, a lot
Jesus. I can't find an affordable apartment in Boston but "Blue grounds" is listing fucking 372 of them on Airbnb....
EDIT: so Blueground is the biggest property holder in almost every city? Or one of the top 5 in the places it isn't #1. What the hell?
There are whole 30 story apartment buildings which are managed and run like a hotel but with units purchased by owners for STRs. Crowd-sourced hotels. So might be that company managing a whole building.
