Don’t agree. I think they were trying to say who owns ABNBs and successfully did so in a neutral way.

That's a pretty weird argument considering the entire premise of the show is that they answer a listener question:

>What is the status of Airbnb in Vermont? How many units are taking away from locals? And what can be done about it?

I just meant in terms of your first few paragraphs about framing. I thought it was a neutral assessment of “who” owns STRs. I haven’t listened to the episode, so have no opinion on the full episode and whether it answered the listener’s question. I will say it sounds like like not enough housing has been built is an accurate assessment. Otherwise, there’d be enough housing for short-term and long-term inhabitants and housing would be cheaper.

If you didn't even know the question they were trying to answer, how can you disagree with my critique that the way they framed the answer was weird. That's like a crucially important piece of context.

I knew the question and read your very very long post about it too.
