"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

But then his town suddenly banned short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binzer says there was no debate — it was just an agenda item. \"No one knew about it,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It left him wondering: What's going on here?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's how Binzer became a new sort of sheriff for the digital age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Millions of Airbnb-type rentals are popping up in residential neighborhoods across the United States. That leaves cities struggling to enforce rules around everything from problem party houses to investors buying up too many rental properties, which some studies say pushes up housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binzer, who works in Silicon Valley, saw an opportunity to use technology to tame the Wild West landscape of short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, he went to a town meeting and started researching the issue. He realized cities were really struggling to deal with all these short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those cities was Nashville, Tennessee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had a problem,\" says Sean Braisted, who works in Nashville's code-enforcement department. For one thing, it was hard to get homeowners to obtain rental permits and pay taxes on their rental income. And Nashville is a big party town, Braisted says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would have problems with essentially party houses that would try to pull as many beds into one house as possible and cram as many people in there,\" he says. \"We've had complaints about people allegedly having sex parties to doing all sorts of things within short-term rental properties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In residential neighborhoods, Nashville allows these Airbnb-type rentals only for houses occupied by their owners. The goal is to cut down on investor-owned party houses or having too many investor-owned short-term rentals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Braisted says the rules were hard to enforce. For one thing, you usually don't see the actual address of a property on these rental sites until you agree to rent it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in California, Binzer realized that for cities trying to enforce these rules, \"it was like bringing a knife to a gunfight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities manage compliance manually, one property at a time, which takes time, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They essentially go and do a drive-by, or they try to book the property so they can get the address and then they catch them and it's like a sting operation,\" he says. \"You can't do that when you have thousands of these, right?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binzer saw an opportunity to use his technology background to help cities get this rapidly growing short-term rental phenomenon under control. He got some software developers on board, and they knocked together a bare-bones startup company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We went out and started talking to cities and very quickly got to something like 20 customers\" within a couple of months, Binzer says. Today, he says his company, Host Compliance, is working with more than 300 towns and cities across the U.S. and Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nashville is one of them. The city is using Binzer's technology to see if properties on the short-term rental sites have the right permits. \"They crawl the Internet through those sites, and then they match those up with property records, assessor photos of the front of the properties,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Host Compliance uses artificial intelligence software to figure out the address and owner. Then, people renting without a permit are told to get one or stop renting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in Nashville, Braisted says it's working. After two years, he says, the city is bringing in 50% more money annually in short-term rental taxes. And the crackdown has found about 2,500 rental operators who were breaking the rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the country, local officials also worry about short-term rentals boosting the cost of housing. That has squeezed out people like New Orleans resident April Leigh, who owns a neighborhood small business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My boyfriend and I were in this house, and it was cheap rent that we could both afford,\" she says. \"It was close to my business, so I could bike or walk there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that in recent years, investors have been buying up a lot of rental properties that locals were living in and have been turning them into Airbnbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When that happened with the house she used to live in, she says she and her boyfriend were forced to move. She says it happened to her neighbors, too. \"People have told me they're the only renters on the block — the rest is all Airbnb houses,\" Leigh says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The influx of Airbnbs made it a lot harder for her to find an affordable place to rent, she says. She was so frustrated that after she got kicked out, she decided to leave a message for the next tourists renting the house she used to live in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11770647\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"April Leigh spray-painted a message for tourists renting the New Orleans house in which she used to live after she was evicted from it and the new landlord converted it into a short-term rental property.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11770647\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85-536x402.jpg 536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/img_20180205_115913-e26e58ce8b0612a83b5c75806128398315c2e5d2-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">April Leigh spray-painted a message for tourists renting the New Orleans house in which she used to live after she was evicted from it and the new landlord converted it into a short-term rental property. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of April Leigh)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I got a can of spray paint and drove straight to the house and wrote on the sidewalk, 'This Airbnb displaced 5 people,' \" Leigh says.

Some say only owner-occupants can do short-term rentals. Others say owners can rent out one property in addition to their primary residence — though Binzer says that's harder to enforce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does Airbnb think about this new digital sheriff helping cities crack down on illegal short-term rentals?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb spokesman Christopher Nulty declined to talk about any specific company.

And he asks, what's next? Will cities hire companies to check that if you buy a sink at Home Depot, that you've got any required plumbing permits?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binzer says he knows Airbnb and the other rental sites aren't his biggest fans. \"But I think in the long run they all realize that if this is just the Wild West, the pendulum is going to swing the other direction and there's gonna be so many restrictions that it will destroy their business,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb has gotten into \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/10/16/356728035/airbnb-new-york-state-spar-over-legality-of-rentals\">legal battles\u003c/a> with cities over, among other things, how much information it needs to hand over for enforcement.

As a city of \u003ca href=\"https://www.scag.ca.gov/Documents/SantaMonica.pdf\">70 percent renters\u003c/a>, it needed to protect local housing stock while also allowing residents to take advantage of new economic opportunities through home-sharing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Constance Farrell, public information officer for Santa Monica, said, “We wanted to strike a balance, not turning neighborhoods into de facto hotels. But we also recognized that we have residents that want to host people from around the world, and so we created a legal pathway to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Santa Monica allows residents to rent out rooms in their homes for a period of 30 days or less. Renting out an entire home remains illegal. In 2016, Airbnb and HomeAway \u003ca href=\"https://www.santamonica.gov/press/2018/03/13/city-of-santa-monica-prevails-against-airbnb-and-homeaway\">filed a lawsuit \u003c/a>against the city to stop the home-sharing ordinance from taking effect, but in 2018 the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled in favor of Santa Monica on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>S.F.: Friendlier Than Most to Short-Term Rentals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco, for its part, didn’t start regulating short-term rentals until 2015. Up until then, short-term rentals were technically illegal, but the city didn’t enforce this until around 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the macro level, it’s about housing supply and housing affordability, and then on the neighborhood level, it’s about making sure there’s regulations to help ensure quality of life for residents,” said Kevin Guy, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://shorttermrentals.sfgov.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Office of Short-Term Rentals.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"California's Affordable Housing Crisis\" tag=\"affordable-housing\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, in response to complaints from residents, legislation was passed to force hosts to register with the city. The new law also required hosts to live in their rentals at least part-time, and put a limit (90 days) on the number of nights a home could be rented out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, San Francisco maintains a list of all registered hosts, and works with Airbnb and VRBO to ensure hosts stay compliant. Compared to South Lake Tahoe and Santa Monica, however, San Francisco is still much friendlier toward short-term rentals, with longer limits on the number of nights hosts can rent out their rooms when they’re not present, and no restrictions on renting out rooms when they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Palm Springs: Tourists Welcome, Within Limits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Palm Springs, which has a long history of tourism, placed minor restrictions on short-term rentals in April 2017. Its \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/departments/vacation-rentals/ordinance-no-1918-tool-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vacation Rental Ordinance No. 1918\u003c/a> states that hosts must have an in-person “meet and greet” with guests in the first 24 hours of their stay; it also instituted a complaint hotline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city has had to make adjustments so they can encourage the increased tourism, without sacrificing the quality of life for the people who reside here full-time,” a Vacation Rental staff member said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, a ballot initiative called Measure C threatened to make short-term rentals in single-family residential zones illegal, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/election-info\">70.06 percent of voters decided against it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>South Lake Tahoe: Strict and Getting Stricter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities like Santa Monica and San Francisco can afford to regulate short-term rentals tightly, because they have income streams from industries other than tourism. That’s not as true in South Lake Tahoe, where a recent ballot measure to more or less ban short-term rentals could have far-reaching consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017, the city cracked down on short-term rentals, putting a cap on the number of permits that would be handed out, increasing fines and registration fees, and adding three enforcement officers to help keep the rental market in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before these changes could take effect, however, a group of residents put \u003ca href=\"https://www.rgj.com/story/money/business/2019/01/14/south-lake-tahoe-airbnb-ban-measure-t-lawsuit/2549226002/\">Measure T on the ballot\u003c/a>, to make all short-term rentals in residential areas illegal (though full-time residents can still rent out their homes for a maximum of 30 days a year). When it passed by just 58 votes, it effectively made 1,400 short-term rentals in residential areas illegal overnight, though the decision is still being litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Lake Tahoe’s enforcement officers are paid for through fines from short-term rental violations. If Measure T is implemented, those officers may lose their jobs, the city staff member said. While short-term rentals might be completely illegal, at least in residential areas, there could be no one to enforce the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where Do We Go From Here\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Today, the future of short-term rentals is still uncertain, but it seems unlikely that they’ll ever totally go away. Even cities like Palo Alto, where short-term rentals are technically illegal, seem hesitant to enforce the regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because many short-term rentals — both illegal and not — pay a transient occupancy tax. As that revenue becomes an established part of the city’s income, and as residents depend more and more on the money from renting out their rooms, more cities will likely be forced to strike a balance between letting short-term rentals operate, and regulating them in a sustainable way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

In 2016, Airbnb and HomeAway \u003ca href=\"https://www.santamonica.gov/press/2018/03/13/city-of-santa-monica-prevails-against-airbnb-and-homeaway\">filed a lawsuit \u003c/a>against the city to stop the home-sharing ordinance from taking effect, but in 2018 the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled in favor of Santa Monica on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>S.F.: Friendlier Than Most to Short-Term Rentals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>San Francisco, for its part, didn’t start regulating short-term rentals until 2015. Up until then, short-term rentals were technically illegal, but the city didn’t enforce this until around 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the macro level, it’s about housing supply and housing affordability, and then on the neighborhood level, it’s about making sure there’s regulations to help ensure quality of life for residents,” said Kevin Guy, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://shorttermrentals.sfgov.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Office of Short-Term Rentals.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The new law also required hosts to live in their rentals at least part-time, and put a limit (90 days) on the number of nights a home could be rented out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, San Francisco maintains a list of all registered hosts, and works with Airbnb and VRBO to ensure hosts stay compliant. Compared to South Lake Tahoe and Santa Monica, however, San Francisco is still much friendlier toward short-term rentals, with longer limits on the number of nights hosts can rent out their rooms when they’re not present, and no restrictions on renting out rooms when they are.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Palm Springs: Tourists Welcome, Within Limits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Palm Springs, which has a long history of tourism, placed minor restrictions on short-term rentals in April 2017. Its \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/departments/vacation-rentals/ordinance-no-1918-tool-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vacation Rental Ordinance No. 1918\u003c/a> states that hosts must have an in-person “meet and greet” with guests in the first 24 hours of their stay; it also instituted a complaint hotline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city has had to make adjustments so they can encourage the increased tourism, without sacrificing the quality of life for the people who reside here full-time,” a Vacation Rental staff member said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, a ballot initiative called Measure C threatened to make short-term rentals in single-family residential zones illegal, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/election-info\">70.06 percent of voters decided against it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>South Lake Tahoe: Strict and Getting Stricter\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cities like Santa Monica and San Francisco can afford to regulate short-term rentals tightly, because they have income streams from industries other than tourism. That’s not as true in South Lake Tahoe, where a recent ballot measure to more or less ban short-term rentals could have far-reaching consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2017, the city cracked down on short-term rentals, putting a cap on the number of permits that would be handed out, increasing fines and registration fees, and adding three enforcement officers to help keep the rental market in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When it passed by just 58 votes, it effectively made 1,400 short-term rentals in residential areas illegal overnight, though the decision is still being litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>South Lake Tahoe’s enforcement officers are paid for through fines from short-term rental violations. If Measure T is implemented, those officers may lose their jobs, the city staff member said. While short-term rentals might be completely illegal, at least in residential areas, there could be no one to enforce the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Where Do We Go From Here\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Today, the future of short-term rentals is still uncertain, but it seems unlikely that they’ll ever totally go away. Even cities like Palo Alto, where short-term rentals are technically illegal, seem hesitant to enforce the regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because many short-term rentals — both illegal and not — pay a transient occupancy tax. As that revenue becomes an established part of the city’s income, and as residents depend more and more on the money from renting out their rooms, more cities will likely be forced to strike a balance between letting short-term rentals operate, and regulating them in a sustainable way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
