Power Poll voters on short-term rental debate: Tap the brakes

by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana business news readers. Let's get it started. 

Pick a large city, and there’s a good chance elected officials there have dealt with the short-term rental issue.

In Lafayette, the issue has started to reach a boiling point. When two city council members pitched ordinances to limit them — one to ban them in single-family neighborhoods and another that would ban only short-term rentals by the room — responses were quick.

Lafayette Power Poll voters this month had this to say: Whoa, tap the brakes.

Check out the story here. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
