• How Airbnb is fighting for its place on California's coast • The Mendocino Voice (mendovoice.com) — Pacifica's long-debated rules on short-term rentals have been significantly softened after intense lobbying and legal pressure tied to Airbnb, with the Coastal Commission removing a primary-residence requirement and expanding allowable unhosted rental days. Residents frustrated by noisy corporate-run rentals worry more homes will be diverted from local families, and Pacifica's experience may shape how other coastal communities regulate vacation rentals.
