📰 News we're reading

• How Airbnb is fighting for its place on California's coast (santacruzsentinel.com) — Pacifica's long-debated crackdown on short‑term rentals has been significantly weakened after intense lobbying and legal pressure tied to Airbnb, with state coastal regulators rolling back key limits on unhosted stays. Residents who've endured noisy party houses and lost housing options now face looser rules than city leaders originally passed, and Pacifica's outcome may shape how other California coastal towns regulate vacation rentals.
