Not completely true. I have always had a couple on my block and don't even notice them. Allows for more parking and the owners maintain their homes better than residents who can no longer afford to.
I'm fine with STRs. I think the city should be taxing the shite out of them.

I was simply countering your argument regarding no new tech companies since the data was released. There were 2 good announcements since 2016.
New Orleans is starting from scratch and needs to develop a workforce. New Orleans needs to attract entry level positions in order to eventually attract higher paying positions. Dell was the foundation of the tech economy in Austin. New Orleans needs to form a foundation - that's my point.
Why did Accruent & EY choose New Orleans versus growing in Austin or another tertiary market? With the growth of the tech sector in Austin, including the largest players (Apple, Google & Facebook) Accruent cannot compete for talent in that environment at their payscale. New Orleans needs the jobs to create a foundation.

it became a popular argument alongside of the "rising housing costs" one...
both are demonstrably inaccurate and dishonest

They had that. The company folded and then left.

this doesn't make sense, either.
higher paying positions are in the corporate/HQs of the companies. Nola won't get this sort of development without courting companies to relocate. that was my original argument about economic development.

the timeline of migration of tech to Austin was LONG after Dell and Dell wasn't the lynchpin. being an "it" city that was attractive for companies to form/locate is why it developed in ATX. Nola has gone the opposite way the past 10-15 years, losing company after company to more attractive cities
i mean frick, LC has had more of an impact in the tech industry than Nola (with Waitr)

and this is about as much as Nola can hope to get. Nola is the scrap heap of the tech industry. the real/valuable jobs won't be located anywhere near Nola

right but whats the alternative for the low income service industry worker in new orleans?
Service industry relies on tourism, of which there is none right now. STR also relies on tourism, of which there is none right now. Posturing STR’s as a way out of poverty is such a laughable concept. You think some guy in Central City that inherited his house should run a STR to help pad their income? Or Bywater gutter punks can list their ramshackle shotguns to attract a bachelorette party from out of town? Your idea of STR’s for all only works for people with marginal to high wealth living in desirable areas in homes that have been decently maintained.

another ignorant argument
locals are far more destructive than visiting tourists
sit this one out man, you sound like a woke reddit clown
How is it ignorant if it’s true? I’m not 100% against STR’s...if it’s a home owned by a local and the neighbors don’t mind I think it’s great. If it’s a company flipping it once every 3 to 6 days, it’s a problem. I also agree with the above that they should tax the shite out of them.
I just don’t understand how it’s a solution to increasing business and wealth in NOLA. Would never work in reality.

his argument wasn't a short term, covid-related one
he's arguing Nola needs to focus on tourism and accept it's not getting other industries worth a shite and to fully embrace tourism as its sole future
Posted on 9/23/20 at 9:06 am to SlowFlowPro
Or like Vegas. Accept tourism is going to be your driver then develop the other industries nearby.
Basically make NOLA a place people want to live instead of trying to bring in a large company and making their employees do that job.

Okay. Even keeping that in mind, we don’t know what tourism is going to look like once we get through Covid. I think it’ll bounce back, but not to the degree it once was.

I feel like pre Covid NOLA embraced tourism pretty well. Hotels were going up left and right in the CBD, huge conventions every month, festivals, Mardi Gras, etc. Was definitely trending that way. Problem is a successful city needs a good middle class base with steady professional jobs...service industry and tourism industry is not that as 2020 has proven.

It's hard to see any way the whole national convention framework is not severely altered by all this very long term. That's HUGE for New Orleans.

No one knows what any industry will look like after covid.
While highly doubtful, office work may be a thing of the past.
Positioning yourself as a fun city with a relatively low cost of living and quality infrastructure could get tons of remote workers.

Not sure what is so funny
I think most of her buyers are from Lakeview actually.

So they have been priced out of Lakeview for the sq footage they want.

Must I always have to repeat myself. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD GOVERNMENT SCHOOL !!!!!!!!!!! Not in Austin, not in Houston, not in Atlanta ! If your kid goes to public school, they are being fed a bunch of BS. THey'll score to the test, but won't be an independent thinker. By the way, the ACT and SAT are going by the way of the dinosaur. The government schools are so bad at the important stuff that colleges, who need paying students, are not requiring high scores for admissions. Time to disband the Dept of Education and give school vouchers for all.

i mean, like i said earlier, even in a "best case" scenario of the vaccine, we won't be back to normal until late 2021 most likely
if that's true, there certainly won't be any for another year or so, and that's a "best" case scenario
this shite sucks
