New Orleans Mayors race candidate Charbonnet aims to kill AirBnB and push affordable plans

New Orleans is another activist mayor away from 70s level white flight.

The Four Seasons is expected to bring in roughly $13.2 million a year to the city, an estimate Charbonnet called “conservative” in an interview Tuesday. Under her proposal, half of that money might be dedicated to affordable housing, while the other half would go to public safety

Guess which one of these she will abandon upon being elected, hint, it's not the affordable housing

We don't need subsidized housing. How did people afford abodes in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries in america?

new Orleans should have gone full throttle on allowing STRs (for the next 3-5 years), which would have driven up the property values, and coincidentally lead to forcing out the "trash" who could no longer afford to live there

THEN, you ban the STRs

doing it now is just a big

Can't you just get around this by putting the other priority in an LLC?

Affordable housing is an issue - especially with our subpar transit system.

But the areas with a lot of VRBO/AirbNb... let's be honest... they are not areas that would ever be known as a neighborhood that would have a lot of affordable housing.

Even if those rentals weren't driving up the cost.

Also, people like to lump VRBO and AirbNb together, but they really are quite different things. For example, her homestead exemption idea actually makes a bit of sense in the AirbNb world. AirbNb was never supposed to be about a house having a non-stop series of short term rentals... it was always about the occasional short term rental while the owner was away.

However... VRBO IS about property that is rarely used by the owner - and thus is ineligible for the homestead exemption in the first place.

She's making a few unforced errors here. This isn't the first time she's said something and had to correct it later on - and I have a feeling that's the case here.

I've been telling y'all she is dangerous and sucks.

Glad to see the NOLA politicians are tackling another important issue. Once they get these major issues out the way, addressing the crime and school system should be a walk in the park.

I have never seen a section 8 home "bring up" a neighborhood.

In fact pretty much anytime section 8 infiltrates a neighborhood. That same neighborhood is tGhetto in under 5 years or less.

As others have alluded too, there is almost zero middle to upper middle class jobs to help push the trash out.

So now the inmates run the asylum and there is no amount of federal funding that will make a turd look pretty.

You fricking cant legislate poor people into prosperity. It's a way of thinking and doing.

Government should not be in the business of telling people what they can do with their property to this extent.
