Axios San Diego
Axios San Antonio
Thousands of short-term rental operators in San Antonio might not be paying their fair share in city taxes. A proposed new working group is aimed at changing that.
Why it matters: When owners of short-term rental homes don't have city permits and don't pay local taxes, the city loses out on revenue that would otherwise go toward supporting tourism and arts and culture programming.
Driving the news: District 1 Councilmember Mario Bravo, whose district includes the most permitted short-term rent

As online shopping in the U.S. has more than tripled over the last decade, producers want to deliver goods to consumers as soon as possible.
