Short term rental ban evaded in La Quinta!

[Phillip Vaughan]

After Cathedral City opted to start phasing out existing STRs altogether, it seems that La Quinta was next in line. But Measure A, which was La Quinta's try at phasing out STRs by 2024 was shot down by 308 votes. Financial reasons were a major factor after a report found that the city could lose up to $100 million by 2031 if STRs were banned.

Is the Hotel LA Quinta headquartered here?

Oddly no, but I do find that coincidence amusing every time I pass by one of those!

Amazing news! If this passed who knows Indio might have been next.

Yeah crazy to follow the tabulation of votes on that, super tight, and changed sides a few times before all of the votes were tabulated and NO won. I contributed to the cause and am active in other local STR advocacy groups. If you have an interest in the area, GET INVOLVED!
