I know this sounds witty to you, but you also need people to work at those hotels and restaurants and in general jobs all around the city.
Yeah, can't wait to go to a hotel where I'm treated like I'm bothering the staff for asking for an extra towel

Clearly.

Could be better if the people working in the hospitality industry could afford to live in the city. Plenty of houses for rent on Airbnb that workers could be renting to live in, while hotels always have a plethora of rooms.

There are people who own 8-10 properties and employ one person to act as a "host" to all of them.
Basically someone fronts the money to build them out then has a property manager.
It isn't AirBnB or VRBO; but Zydeco Entertainment or some shite like that.

STR’s are killing real estate for people. The bachelorette party can stay at 1 of 1000 hotels in New Orleans
Such a narrow view of who actually uses air bnb’s. I guarantee there are more people like myself that use them regularly for work related travel. Having a singular location to sleep, do laundry and take care of business is convenient as hell. Don’t overlook the convenience of actually being able to prepare meals vs the expense of eating out 3 times a day either.

Most companies have moved away from allowing STRa for various reasons.

If anyone wanted to buy up your shitty neighborhood homes just to rent them to transient strangers you'd be for a ban too.

I mean it really wouldn't be hard to browse Airbnb and vrbo, find the listings, find the owners, and fine the owners and lock down the property.
I assume this legislation would also restrict the sites but doubt they would comply as quickly.

Wouldn't this qualify as a commercial operation and this law is to stop non-commercial STR's.

It's bullshite they've gotten away with it for so long.
There is zoning for a reason.
I don't want to live nextdoor to a hotel, so I don't. I feel for people with these things in their neighborhoods.

The host isn't a CEO. You aren't paying the company.

You managed to eventually stumble upon the crux of my question.

There’s only certain parts of the city where STR’s are allowed. But people abuse the rules.
They are like Mexicans, give them an inch and they take a mile
Best way is to just shut them completely down for a period of time and revamp the whole program.

Because I love a task force.
A task force guided by a blue ribbon panel would seal the deal.

To have a commercial STR you need to have your property zoned commercial

I’ll probably be alone here, and I rarely give the City Council props on anything well-done bc it essentially never happens, but I don’t blame city council on this one. They tried to prevent out-of-state owners and real estate moguls from buying properties (even multiple properties) solely for STRs that they were not on site to oversee and be responsible for.
The homestead exemption requirement was ruled unconstitutional after some a-hole in Texas (I think) sued, so they came up with another option to try and allow STR without it being a free-for all, and in the spirit of allowing local homeowners to rent out part of their homes or double shotguns as STRs.
Banning them outright is going to hurt a lot of people who are making ends meet with STR income. The very act of trying to protect available/affordable housing for locals is going to make housing unaffordable for locals.
I’m a proponent of locally owned and operated STRs, but the out-of-state LLCs and investors buying up homes simply for STRs do need strict regulation, IMO.

Commercial vs non-commercial has to do with the zoning, not the entity owning the property.
