Why? New Orleans is a tourist city, and AiraBnB hasn't hurt cities like Austin or Charleston, etc. Is there some hotel advocacy or something in play?


There is a belief among certain groups that short term rentals are driving housing prices higher, accelerating gentrification and forcing the locals out of their long-term neighborhoods. Landlords decide to move from traditional landlords to short term rental. Forcing out the local renters.

The hotels really don't care about the short term rentals.

They are also hellbent on using one set of rules. For instance I am in a private commercial building in the middle of the CBD. My units are set up like condos and can easily sleep 8-10 yet i'm capped at 4-6 based on the rules they implemented. (6 appears to be the sweet spot for rentals so being capped at four hurts)I get they don't want some guy in the middle of uptown having his living room filled with air mattresses but my unit is no different than a hotel suite and yet that's disallowed.
