📰 News we're reading

• World Cup Sets Stage for Airbnb Backlash (bankerandtradesman.com) — North End residents are being pulled into Boston’s brewing fight over Airbnb rules, as officials cite a local apartment allegedly rented to tourists under a hospital-stay exemption. With World Cup and 250th celebrations coming, city councilors are weighing tougher short‑term rental enforcement and possible changes to hospital and corporate exemptions that could affect how many units in neighborhoods like the North End can legally be used as mini‑hotels.
