There are blocks with more STR than residents… how do you think that would effect your neighborhood? Think you would have a relationship with your neighbors and any sense of community? Think it would be dirtier, louder and less safe?

i've been fortunate with the 'hoods i've lived in, but walking around and seeing bachelor parties in (mostly) old people neighborhoods... yeah that that sucks

Residential vs commercial zoning. Not who owns the property

There are zoning laws for a reason.

People poor a lot of their wealth into a home. They wouldnt have done that if they thought a business would be opening next door. I dont want a weekend rental just as much as I wouldnt want a bar, a music venue, a gas station or many other capitalistic concepts, that are zoned out for good reason

Would be the easiest thing to have an applicant apply, match name and homestead exemption, auto registration.


They cannot do anything close to a homestead exemption requirement. They already tried that and it was ruled unconstitutional when someone who lived in Texas sued because he wouldn’t have been able to STR his many Nola properties.

He was the exact STR scenario the city council was trying to prevent and a judge ruled in his favor.

When they deliberated and got input from locals on a new plan (over many, many months) several of the City Council members were very open that if a legal consensus could not be reached, they would ban residential STRs outright.

I guess we’re there.

You only need 2 of 3 to qualify.

Because we now require neighborhood parking qualifications. Which NOLA could hella capitalize on.

The courts tell the council their regulations are unconstitutional, so now the council seeks to influence the Fifth Circuit with threats to ban all STRs. This is what you’d see in a banana republic.

They are missing the opportunity to tax the frick out of the STRs, fund NORD or whatever they decide. Outlaw them through attrition.


That would mean they actually have some foresight and actually give a shite. This way they can pound their chest and “save” the neighborhoods.

There are quite a few large companies like Sonder that buy houses and apartment buildings just to STR. It does hurt renters. Though I know someone with a condo in Bywater that has it managed by Sonder. So they don't just own they also sublet.

Maybe, instead of worrying about short term rentals they should worry more about how to keep their population to stay long term instead of vacating the city? Perhaps they should do some self reflection and ask “Self, what policies, actions, inactions, and current climate has proven to not work in keeping the revenue producers to stay in this city?” I do my best thinking whilst walking around sometimes. Maybe some walks around the city might jog some clarity of thought. Maybe looking at the general condition of the city, the homelessness everywhere, and the loss of historical importance might be a good place to begin?


I think this is comical in light of much of the rest of the south experiencing a boom in population because of desirability. Maybe that should resonate.

Never lived somewhere where the mailbox wasn't on my house next to the front door.

Carrier walking routes FTW.

I think we should do whatever it takes to get low skilled manufacturing jobs. Give away free land. Free empty buildings, huge tax breaks. Something. We need a few thousand jobs that anyone could do inside, with little training.
If you think about low skilled jobs in the city there's hospitality, construction and not much else.

The city/state needs radical change in industry. The post Katrina boom is coming to an end.

Maybe those neighborhoods that don’t want it form an HOA and not allow it. HOA can prevent STRs.

Pretty sure if an HOA was formed, that membership would have to be voluntary since there was no HOA in place when the neighborhood was developed and properties were purchased. So the people who wanted to continue doing STR couldn’t be forced to join the HOA

ETA: basically for mandatory HOA membership, the property has to be deeded as such
