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.
