Many of the shelter-in-place orders have banned anything not essential, like groceries or other supplies. That includes moving.

How did the supply dry up so fast when no one is to leave their houses? It has to be AirBnB/travel bans; even the 2008 housing bubble 'asplosion didn't move that fast.

The 2008 collapse didn't leave nearly so many jobless. I assume you've seen the unprecedented unemployment claim charts? https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/economy/unemployment-benefits...

It's all beside the point. You'd have to refute literally every single other possible cause to establish that airbnb was the culprit here.
