AirBnB is fricking up market rate housing supply, but if it’s between that or Section 8 then I would prefer AirBnB.

For me the gentrification isn't the issue. It's the loss of affordable housing in the city in walkable areas near amenities. Also, call me old fashioned but I think neighborhoods are generally better when filled with homeowners and not all renters and people in town for bachelor parties.
Folks that live in cities/areas no one cares to visit probably wouldn't understand.

It is idiotic. I am now using AirBNB every time I travel, freeing up more dollars to spend on tourism.
If hotels were more competitive, AirBnB's market share would shrink
But as it stands, I can rent an entire condo for just a little more than a room in most cities I visit. It simply makes sense to use AirBnB when traveling with family

There are blocks in the Bywater where more than half the houses are exclusively ABNB.

Same can be said about the uptown

When I go see my friends that come down and get an air bnb they're always nice places but in the ghetto. Hopefully the rising prices will force the ghettoans out and we can have more air bnbs

Compared to many other cities I definitely live in the "inner city", but in N.O. its just another urban neighborhood.
That said we have a small apartment attached to our house that we AIRBNB and its done really well. However, we live there and have a homestead exemption and limit it to 4 people so we've never had any issues.
I do think whole home rentals in residential neighborhoods are problematic and should probably be limited to people like myself with homestead exemptions. There are several other whole house rentals on our block and we definitely notice how empty the street can feel when those are not rented and how over-active the street can feel when its full of visitors.

I keep hearing this and I think for more than 2 people it would be a better deal, but my wife and I travel often and we’ve been checking Airbnb and always find a better deal for a hotel in our rewards group or a non-chain.
I was able to book a boutique hotel in London near King’s Cross with free breakfast for $70 less than the base rate of the cheapest nearby Airbnb that included a $50 cleaning fee.
I get that those prices may be inflated, but even in BR when staying near the river center, hotel indigo with valet parking was cheaper than the Airbnb’s and associated cleaning fees for one night.

Yeah thats a working definition of what Gentrification is.
Its one coin with two sides. Yes the neighborhoods like the Bywater and the Channel have changed and will continue to do so, but, more stable people are moving in, more tax revenue for the city.
