On the Sept. 2 episode of the DFW Breakdown podcast, Community Impact Senior Editor Valerie Wigglesworth discusses how a new report that reveals most local short-term rentals, such as Airbnb properties, are operating illegally, is affecting Fort Worth's considerations surrounding zoning and regulations for the properties. Plus, digital journalist Summer El-Shahawy stops by to chat about upcoming events throughout the metroplex.
