^^ YES ^^ I live in New Orleans, and this is my chief concern about short-term rentals. The guests can be obnoxious, sure, but that alone wouldn't have made this such a hot city-wide issue. The rental market has been changing very rapidly here, partly due to a recent influx of well-off young people, and it's causing a lot of anxiety about what the city will look like in the future.
