A Shooting at a New Orleans Vacation Rental. 20 People at a Party. And Nobody Knows if It Was Even Licensed.
A man was shot outside a short-term rental hosting a 20-person party in New Orleans' Central City neighborhood early Sunday morning, and the city still can't confirm whether the property had a permit. When over 7,500 STRs are estimated to be noncompliant, incidents like this aren't anomalies... they're the system working exactly as broken as it is.
