Much of the divide centered around crime with those against STRs claiming homes used for parties were leading to increased crime.

L. O. Freakin'. L.

Refusing to enforce the laws against...checks notes...crime, is why Dallas is riddled with crime. Not STRs. Not anything else. Your own lax attitude toward bad behavior is the refusal to act that allows evil to flourish.

Dallas and I aren't having a good month. Thankfully I'm not in Dallas proper hardly ever.

This will be challenged in court, Dallas will lose, and it will cost their taxpayers a lot of money. Good times.

Haven't other cities banned them? What makes Dallas different?

Great question.

First, the 5th Circuit (of which Texas falls under) has already struck down STR bans like this one in New Orleans. Smart municipalities (like College Station) relaxed or removed their STR bans after that ruling, because you'd be dumb to knowingly pass an unconstitutional city regulation like this and get sued for it and lose, right? At least Dallas waited until after the special session ended so the state couldn't slap them down immediately.

But that leads us to the second reason. As soon as Red state Texas gets the opportunity to slap down blue city anti-business shenanigans, they will do it. Don't mess with Uncle Sam or Tio Greg's tax revenues.

And finally, I'm of the opinion that the next time the Democrats have the ability to, they will pass some nationwide legislation like California's that puts an end to single family zoning. So this will all end up being moot anyway. Just my take.

Anti-business in a zoning district that doesn't permit businesses? Doesn't make much sense.

The state of Texas collects 6% hotel occupancy taxes on STR's through platforms like AirBNB. The state doesn't care where they are located, Dallas just cut out a chunk of their revenue source.

I'm surprised they just don't require permits, then make them incredibly hard to get.

They're useful in many areas, but I get the nuisance in neighborhoods too.

Thus is what Fredericksburg, Austin and San Antonio have done.

Who could have seen this coming?

Quote:
A Dallas County judge has temporarily blocked the city from enforcing its new short-term rental ordinance that the City Council adopted in June.


Quote:
Their lawsuit argues that the city's actions contradict the state constitution and that the reasons the city gave for enacting stricter measures were inconclusive. They asked Judge Monica Purdy to approve a temporary injunction to prevent the city from enforcing the new rules until the lawsuit is resolved in court.

On Wednesday, Purdy agreed, ruling that the injunction was needed "to prevent imminent and irreparable harm."


Quote:
Purdy also acknowledged that one of the reasons the operators might be successful in their suit is thanks to the so-called "Death Star" bill passed this year by the Texas Legislature, which blocks local governments from passing ordinances that contradict state law.


Quote:
The trial is scheduled to begin on June 3, 2024.
