A broad compromise that has the potential to end San Diego’s years-long stalemate over how to regulate short-term rentals will go before the city’s elected leaders on Tuesday.
The proposal, which has won the support of Airbnb and other large home-sharing platforms, as well as organized labor, calls for an overall cap on the number of whole-home rentals that could be listed for more than 20 days in a year.
The net effect would be to slash the volume of such rentals by as much as 30 percent citywide, based on city officials’ best guess of how many vacation rental listings there are in San Diego that fit that category.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council s Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee sidestepped making a recommendation on a proposed ambulance services contract, instead voting to put the bid before the full council as the city awaits a report from the Office of the Independent Budget Analyst on the financial outlook for the presumptive winning bidder, Falck USA. It s hard to know what to do as someone who cares deeply about the workers when the workers are asking us to do different things, said City Councilman Stephen Whitburn, who made the motion to request an independent financial report on Falck.
