Show Notes
As a follow up to last week’s show investigating the effects of Air BnB on NY’s gentrification, it’s time to look into what’s happening here in Melbourne. Just how much of Melbourne’s possible rental stock has been transformed into a money making, bubble-billowing utility? To round out, some much needed commentary is provided on Australia’s energy crisis within the context of the vital transition towards a saner economic system.

Show Notes
As usual, we’re on the edge of some of the most interesting research on the planet, particularly as you stare at your four walls to consider where you are in life 😉 Prof David Wachsmuth takes us through his recent research on the impact of Air BnB and the gentrification forces it’s unleashed. Just how much extra rent can you earn via Air BnB compared to standard rentals? Where are the greatest profits? Aha you guessed it – on the edge of culture.

We didn’t quite get onto this Tear Down Index, but I suspect this 10% RBV (Relative Building Value) is another way to measure the rent gap.
