Just wondering, would you be okay if your neighbor would use their house as an airbnb? This seems like a situation where a lot of people are ok with it as long as its not in their neighborhood.

I agree with what you are saying for the most part, but big cities are a different story. First, at this point there is no reason for anywhere to not get ahead of this with proper zoning.
But NOLA like many bigger cities is not traditional neighborhoods. HOA's for example almost always exclude short term rentals. Big cities you could easily have a corner barbershop one way and a restaurant two blocks the other way. Their "neighborhoods" and residential is completely different.
Generally speaking if you are living in a "mixed" zoned area, there's no reason that short term rentals shouldn't be allowed. But yes it should be zoned, and plenty of people in big cities should be used to mixed use areas. Just because there is a couple of houses doesn't mean business should not be allowed.

This mindset is the problem and is exactly what NOLA wants you tho think. The city is using the neighborhood excuse to justify everything they are doing when in fact almost half of the airbnb’s are in the cbd. There should be different rules for each group. I understand the neighborhood argument it’s valid but you should not ruin an entire citywide venture because some people are effected. Address those concerns and stay away from the cbd where there are zero issues. Like all liberal cities, New Orleans is looking for justification to get involved and screw up something that wasn’t broke.

I have represented several clients in STR related issues. Good luck in your quest.

Right now NOLA has TOO MUCH tourism... That eventually it ruins the very roots of the reasons people are wanting to come visit to begin with
Lol. That article was both meaningless and ridiculous. Its never going back to the "good ole days" of what people think they remember.
I don't disagree that short term rentals should be managed by the local government to some degree similar to hotels. But if you think the hotel industry is better...hotels will come in and buy an entire city block to tear down the houses and change a huge area.
Cities grow and evolve. Until some better industry comes in, NOLA better simply take care of what tourism they have and manage it as best as possible.

Here is a very good related article that I found quite educationa
I would love to know who this group is. My guess is the majority of it aren't from here.
When people stay in the AirBnBs, etc, they eat local, they go to local clubs, bars, etc. All of which employ locals. If that slows down, these same locals are going to be out of a job.
