To add to that: Hotels are rightly regulated.

The consumer is naturally disadvantaged: They can’t assess until they arrive, they must reserve in advance, and packing up and going elsewhere is often not an easy option.

Though I’ll add that even regulated hotels can be a hit or miss experience.

Hotels are also hilariously taxed, because it's perfect taxation without representation - the people staying at the hotels aren't residents!

They are opting to go to the city. They are literally voting with their dollars to be taxed.
