In the cover story from our magazine, Eva Ruth Moravec looks at the big bucks these companies put into #cities, and the efforts to stem the chaos and costs they bring to residential neighborhoods: https://www.texasobserver.org/short-term-rentals-airbnb-vrbo-neighborhoods/

A federal judge ordered Gov #GregAbbott on Wed to move a barrier of floating buoys in the #RioGrande that was placed by the state of #Texas to discourage illegal crossings from #Mexico, concluding it was an impediment to navigation on the river & a “THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE.”

Judge David Ezra of the U.S. District Court in #Austin ordered the state to move the roughly 1,000-foot barrier to the U.S. banks of the river as quickly as possible while the legal case proceeded.
