Created activist platform with open data and visualizations to help cities and communities respond to the threat of Airbnb on residential neighborhoods throughout the world.

Supported grassroots activists world-wide, advised on city regulation and enforcement, participated in parliamentary Inquiries, public comment on legislature and panels on Airbnb and the affect on housing.

Developed project sustainability by recruiting and managing collaborators, creating an advisory and not-for-profit founding board and building mission consistent data sales.

The project, reports, data and advocacy have been featured in major local, national and international online, print, radio and TV outlets.
