DALLAS Dallas City Council got an earful from residents on Wednesday, as the general public had its first chance to comment on short-term rentals in the city.
The phrase short-term rentals, or STRs, is shorthand for the rooms and houses rented for days, weeks or longer through AirBNB and Vrbo. Some of the 78 people who Zoomed their thoughts waited hours to speak because of a delay in the council agenda.

“They’ve infiltrated our neighborhood,” said Laura Palmer from the Bishop Arts district of STRs.
Others described parking jams, burglaries and noise they attributed to these properties.
