Rental app driving up housing prices and more in New Orleans

New Orleans (WGNO)–The Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance is taking a stand against AirBNB.

The group also worries that resources will be used to police short-term rentals instead of enforcing codes which can improve substandard living conditions.
