Addition to the demo boards, NYC housing:

Verified need out of NYC (and expect more broadly soon). I think Airbnb can come in here and be extremely impactful.

"There’s an overwhelming need to provide housing for medical professionals in New York City. I am in the process of giving my apartment to a nurse and nypd worker who needs to stay isolated from high risk family members in their household

To elaborate on this (specifically NYC metro area). There's an abundance of vacant apartments due to people leaving the city temporarily. This seems the case in most large cities.Airbnb's are still $2000/mo minimum here. Supply and demand are here, but there's no channel to bridge the two."
