San Diego City Council approves short-term vacation rental law

UPDATE: The San Diego City Council has approved a short-term rental ordinance, capping the number of rentals in the city's housing stock.With today’s vote approving San Diego’s first-ever short-term rental rules, we’ve turned the corner on one of San Diego’s thorniest challenges.
