That shite is gonna blow your mind.


Funny you mention Amazon. This woman that sits near me at work was JUST bragging about how she can order stuff on Amazon and have it delivered in 2 days.

Word is there are folks in NOLA who are using a combination of AirBnB with the racket that is the Historic Tax Credits in NOLA to renovate crappy properties, business expense the hell out of the process and then avoid paying almost all hotel/motel/bed taxes in NOLA-a staple of their economy being tourism and all-by renting it strictly using VRBO/AirBnB/social media.

There are a few folks on this board who are becoming modern-day hotel tycoons down there, one AirBnB rental house at a time. Now...If you want to ask their neighbors the lesser evil of a dilapidated or run-down house in their hood versus a nice new renovated house in their hood that is rented out to an endless slew of short-term folks here to go out and get blitzed at least a few times while they're here and come in at all hours...I'm not sure how they'd answer.

I'm sure its not that bad, but it's definitely a brave new world. New Orleans' tax base is being impacted by the loss of hotel-related taxes brought about by this...and the taxes they're losing out on with the Historic reno stuff I'm not sure of.
