HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH

FROM JAY: Well, summer is here, and the time is right for our 2023 Home Edition. We break down the residential real estate data in your neighborhood on Page 14 and also speak to a couple of experts on Page 17 about topics applicable to inside your home. Thank you to our sponsors and our advertisers, and always remember to shop in your local neighborhood when you can. Jay McMahon, GENERAL MANAGER

FROM SHAWN: Our front-page story this month takes a look at a conversation that has been playing out in cities across the U.S., including in Houston. Houston City Hall reporter Leah Foreman dives into the trends surrounding short-term rental properties in Houston, including those listed on sites like Airbnb and VRBO. Some residents are concerned about what they say is a lack of oversight of these properties and are calling on city ocials to bolster regulations. Shawn Arrajj, SENIOR EDITOR
