    LA County leads the state in Airbnb visitors, host income
    Los Angeles County was California’s top Airbnb destination last year with 2.7 million guests who generated $613 million in host income.
    Newly released data from the company show there are now more than 27,000 L.A. County residents who share their homes through Airbnb, and the supplemental income they gain is substantial. Hosts typically earn about $11,400 a year, according to Airbnb — money that helps many homeowners make ends meet.

    Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich called it “one of the mysteries” of the NBA: The short-handed team was energized; the fully staffed team was short on energy.
    That’s how it went Sunday, when the Clippers — sans Danilo Gallinari and Lou Williams — snapped a five-game losing streak, winning 103-95 in San Antonio.
