CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Port Aransas has been known to be a tourist town, but the locals now have to ask What is enough tourism?
âThis is something different, said resident Barney Farley. This is not tourism: this is mega-commerce and mega-bucks.
The issue on some Port Aransas permanent residents minds is the number of short-term rentals being built in the city, and how quickly they re being built.
âIt is eroding our community, said Maggie Sheldon. It is taxing our infrastructure and itâs pricing people out of our community.
