Wonder why they don't include AirBnB in that? Oh, yeah, I forgot, they're totally not a hotel, right?

AirBNB is all but banned in NYC.

So the hotels are full of migrants, not tourists, and there are few other options, which further hurts the local economy.

Tourism numbers are rapidly approaching pre-pandemic highs[1], with the main inertia being Asian tourism, not a lack of hotel availability.

The city really shouldn't be attempting to house migrants in midtown Manhattan, but doing so isn't actually appearing to hurt tourism numbers.
