New hotel ordinances on the way in BR - Watch out, OYO

Hell yeah

It's a nice round number, but this quote makes me nervous:

Chief Administrative Officer Glenn Curtis adds, “So, it’s based on the number of rooms the hotel has over the number of calls that are received within a calendar year. So, it’s a .5 ratio. So, if it’s 100 rooms, if you get 50 calls, which you would be surprised, you’ll get that number pretty quick, then we can take action with the owners on their permit and try to get them back into compliance.”

While this sounds good in theory, I would like to know how many service calls a "normal" hotel receives in a year. If it's far below that, then fine. I just don't want this to become the equivalent of a speed limit sign; everyone goes faster, but the government gets to decide who to punish.

Good.

I hope Moore doesn’t retire. His replacement is going to be some Soros funded screw up like New Orleans has.

I agree with what they are trying to achieve but it seems like this could be easily manipulated. Hotel A can create issues and/or call the cops on there competitors to get them shut down in order to bolster their own business. Why pick on just hotels and not apply it to the broader population with apartments and houses?

I’m pretty sure the police know which ones are legit issues and have probably been advocating for this behind the doors.

Shut down the motels on Boardwalk, Gwenedelle, Mead, and Reiger and you’ll solve most of the area’s crime problems.

Terrific! We have an enforcement mechanism to shut down seedy hotels. That will surely prevent drug use from happening.

Denham Springs has taken a serious downturn because of shitty arse hotels and that stupid Truck Stop.

Amazing our Council & Mayor have done nothing to fix it.
