A request to demolish two vacant homes in the St. Roch neighborhood turned into complaints about abuses of the city's short-term rental ordinance at a New Orleans City Council meeting Thursday.Stacy Head, welcome to #TheResistance, I guess. We kind of noticed something like this a few weeks ago when LaToya Cantrell took a more pro-STR than Stacy's at this council meeting. But, well, only one of those two is currently running a campaign that has taken a fair amount of Airbnb money. Guess which one.
Councilwoman Stacy Head, who supported the short-term rental ordinance when it passed last year, questioned whether the new rules are working or whether the city is allowing property owners to break them.
“I feel like I’ve been duped by this whole short-term rental bull,” Head said.
