For years residents across the globe have struggled with Airbnb party houses. Even after Airbnb’s permanent party ban in 2022, short-term renters still manage to create de facto nightclubs in the middle of neighborhoods, packing dozens, if not hundreds, of people into single-family properties. People are frequently shot at short-term rentals, with four deaths in the Houston area alone this year. With the anonymity they afford, Airbnb homes can also be easily used as brothels and drug dens. In fact, Bloomberg has reported that Airbnb maintains an extensive, multinational “black box” team to cover up crimes committed on their partners’ properties, usually by “firing ‘the money cannon’” to buy victims’ silence. …

I started Houstonians Against Airbnb due to our city’s lack of attention to this critical matter. You can find us on Facebook, where we communicate, commiserate and collectively take action to push City Council and the mayor to do their jobs: to protect our neighborhoods. We encourage every Houstonian to join our effort, even those whose blocks are not yet afflicted with short-term rentals. After all, an Anything Box can be anywhere — your street included.
