Since the focus in public discussion was the idea that short-term-rentals might be talking long-term-rentals out of market availability, I focused on the longevity of Airbnb listings. What I found was that tons of people try hosting, but not many stick with it….

Now I’m releasing that packet to you, parents and teachers. You can alter it and use it as you like, under this Creative Commons license. Here are the links:
A PDF version so you can see what the layout and the drawings are supposed to look like. The kid-style research plans with the drawings are key!
A read-only version on Google Docs, where the document was created. You could “Select All” and copy this into a new doc, though the formatting is likely to be messed up somehow.
An editable version on Google Docs. I will keep this up as long as it doesn’t get too screwed up. 🙂 Instead of editing it directly, I would suggest doing “Make a copy” and then editing the copy as you like.
