Zoning out

Some neighborhoods are already rebelling against the Hospitality Zone CityBiz:

The Faubourg Marigny Improvement Association is asking Sen. Ed Murray to adjust the borders of a proposed Hospitality and Entertainment District to exclude the Marigny. Frenchmen Street, the neighborhood’s prime tourist attraction, is currently included in the proposal for a sweeping zone in which new hotel and food-beverage taxes would be controlled by a board largely composed of hospitality industry executives and the mayor.
