Nadia Giordani's 300-square-foot Airbnb in Cabbagetown, established in 2017 after changes to Atlanta's zoning laws, has allowed her to supplement her income and manage rising property taxes. However, ongoing debates about short-term rental regulations, fueled by concerns over neighborhood impacts and the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, have left many owners anxious about their businesses. While some residents advocate for stricter regulations or outright bans, others, like Giordani, argue that short-term rentals provide essential income and contribute to affordable housing solutions.
