SAGINAW, MI As the week began, Saginaw was marred by a shooting in a rental house that left one person dead and four wounded. The house was a short-term rental, advertised on Facebook as an unofficial Airbnb.
As short-term rentals continue popping up in Saginaw and Bay City, officials in both cities are in the early stages of discussing the role they play,
assessing the pros and cons they can bring to communities, and what regulations could or should be enacted to strike a balance between residents and tourists.
