Here's another look at the latest trash flush in Guatemala, where Interceptor 006 captured 272 truckloads (1.4 million kg / 3.1 million lbs) of trash in one night.
NYC’s #LocalLaw18 on @Airbnb and short-term rentals is doing nothing to improve housing affordability or inventory, but instead destroying economic value created by the STR market.
As of December 2023:
💵 Rents increased 2.3% from last year*
📉 Rental inventory dropped 6.3%**
📊 Vacancy rate didn’t change*
🧵Let’s look further at the effects it’s having:
More housing, lower prices 🏠
We applaud @Airbnb for finding long-term solutions to the housing shortage while sustaining home sharing and driving tourism dollars to local communities. More in Axios ⏬ https://t.co/FpElFrfekh
Today we announced the @Airbnb Housing Council, which will help us explore new short-term rental policy ideas and initiatives that will help boost housing supply.
We’ve partnered with cities around the world to support STR rules that protect housing and preserve the economic benefits home sharing creates for communities, but we want to do more. I look forward to sharing more about our work with the Housing Council soon.

Coaching requires holding your most talented players accountable when their actions negatively affect the team.
In preparation for the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant, the Captain of the USA Basketball Team, started to play in a manner that was hurting the group.
LeBron James and Dwayne Wade looked at their Head Coach, Coach K, and asked him what he would do about it.
Coach K said, “I’ll take care of it.”
He didn’t want to confront the legendary superstar, but he knew it was necessary.
This is how he handled it…
I'm proud to announce California's new United States Senator -- Laphonza Butler.
As we mourn the enormous loss of Sen. Feinstein, the very freedoms she fought for -- reproductive freedom, equal protection, and safety from gun violence -- have never been under greater assault.
Laphonza has spent her entire career fighting for women and girls and has been a fierce advocate for working people.
She will make history -- becoming the first Black lesbian to openly serve in the U.S. Senate.
From her time as President of EMILY's List to leading the state's largest labor union, she has always stood up for what is right and has led with her heart and her values.
I have no doubt she will carry the baton left by Senator Feinstein, continue to break glass ceilings, and fight for all Californians in Washington.
