Our Mission
Keep the Ban! Email City Planning Commission by October 19th!
After years of fighting for protections against STR’s in the French Quarter, neighborhood advocates reached a compromise that allowed them only on a portion of Bourbon St. The City Planning Commission and City Council are now considering ANOTHER exception to the ban, the VCE-1.
