The City of Houston has been working for years now to crack down on the violent crime and chaos at short-term rental properties like Airbnbs. An ordinance designed to regulate them took effect earlier this year, but it hasn\u2019t solved the problem.<\/p>\n

Our TV partner, Channel 2, recently reported<\/a> a shooting at one of these short-term rentals, which was reportedly being used to host a party. According to the report, a 23-year-old was killed at the party, and a 19-year-old was hospitalized.<\/p>\n

Doug Griffith, President of the Houston Police Officers Union, says there\u2019s no way to stop 100% of these violent parties. \u201cWe\u2019re still going to see this happen. Unfortunately, this is the way these teens get together, and when you have a whole group of them together like that, bad things happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to say that parents are going to have to play a more active role here if any progress is to be made. \u201cIf they\u2019re going to a party like this, tell them they can\u2019t go! Unfortunately, we see too many parents just let their kids run wild, and we end up with situations like this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Griffith also pointed out that one way or the other, these parties are going to continue to happen, and even if you can prevent them from occurring at short-term rentals, they\u2019ll just move somewhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of Houston has been working for years now to crack down on the violent crime and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,66,223,27],"class_list":["post-478019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-local","tag-news","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
