Who We Are

Better Neighbors LA is a coalition of residents, tenants, housing advocates, and community members pushing for enforcement of LA's Home-Sharing Ordinance.

We support responsible home-sharing. We're here about the corporate operators removing housing from our neighborhoods, and the City of LA that hasn't made them follow the rules.

The Home-Sharing Ordinance exists. The fines exist. We just want the City to enforce them.

Housing Impact

  • There is a direct correlation between neighborhoods with rents well above the citywide average and a high density of short-term rental listings. A report by LAANE found that neighborhoods with a high concentration of short-term rental listings boast rental prices over 20% higher than the citywide average.

  • In Los Angeles, the latest study said about 22% of Airbnb operators rent their properties for at least 180 days a year, while 4% offer the homes for at least 360 days a year.[1]

  • The 7,316 units of housing that have been taken off the rental market by AirBnB is equivalent to seven years of affordable housing construction in Los Angeles.[2]

  • Only nine LA neighborhoods account for 73% of the money Airbnb makes in the entire region. [3]
