    This is the correct answer.

    Irrelevant. There's a big event in town that will be attended by rich people who don't want to stay in a hotel with a bunch of poor people. $1,200/night is pocket change; you'd learn this if you had money.

    People pay $100 to park in front yards for big OSU home games.

    Supply and Demand ----------- a concept foreign to socialists and marxists.

    Are you familiar with the RNC? It's importance? It goes on every 4 years.

    It doesn't get any more fitting that a Bernie supporter doesn't understand basic supply/demand.

    Are you familiar with the ocean and places people actually want to be?

    This is crazy to me...

    I could take a week's trip, and then some, internationally for a lot less than that. Even if it's multiple families involved...not worth it.

    Yes, I love the ocean.

    Let me help you. It's a very significant event. Again, only every 4 years.

    Our entire family. It's not just us for $9000. I'd also guess that's pretty modest to average for on the ocean?

    No question it brings people. But you'd have to be pretty passionate about politics to spend that money on staying 45 minutes off site for a fucking convention. Is anyone on here doing it? I highly doubt it.

    The RNC isn't a bunch of guys typing on a sport message board, so no.

    It's literally the biggest(or 2nd biggest, depending on your views) event in politics. It's not a small get together of people. It's a HUGE event. So yes, people will pay thousands of dollars to stay at a nice house that is less than an hour from the site.

    It's "literally the biggest event" yet has no interest from a message board website eh? Have you seen activity on politics forum vs sports forum?

    So I'm reading the RNC is expecting upwards of 50,000 guests. 48,000 came to NYC in 2004. The RNC requested 15,000 rooms from Cleveland hotels which the hotels had no problem accommodating and said they would go as far at offering 90% of their rooms if need be.

    I don't read a housing shortage.

    So simple, an Akron grad should get it. Every hotel room in the Cleveland area, booked at double occupancy, will only accommodate about 2/3 of the people attending. The rest need to stay somewhere, driving record demand and record prices.

    not true at all. The website I read said Cleveland area has 17,000 hotel rooms. RNC asked for 15,000. They estimate they'll need 16,000 total.

    Upon further reading ....
    The 2016 Republican National Convention requires approximately 16,000 hotel rooms to accommodate the estimated 50,000 visitors who will convene in Cleveland for a week next July. According to the convention host committee, Northeast Ohio will have 17,000 rooms available within a 45-minute drive of downtown and just under 5,000 rooms in the immediate downtown area by the mega-event's first day.

    I think it's more a matter of preference. A lot of people prefer Air BnB to hotels these days.

    I'm considering going to a music festival in Detroit in May. Air BnB prices for that weekend are also higher than the norm.

    Well the original website I read overstated Cleveland's occupancy. It looks like 17,000 expands the radius quite a bit to encompass 45 minute drive. I could see people renting houses 45 minutes out instead of obscure hotels 45 min out.
