[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems pretty straightforward. How much does anyone pay attention to these tax rates when planning their vacation anyway? And, as the article notes, the proposed rates are similar to other large cities. The money just goes into promoting more tourism. Honestly, DC has to work extra hard to undo the stink of the Trump years.[/quote] People do pay attention to the overall cost. They are benchmarking themselves against NYC and LA. But DC is not NYC or LA. If it’s just as expensive to stay in DC as NYC or LA it won’t be hard for people to decide where they would prefer to visit. [/quote] Comparing NYC/LA/DC is like comparing oranges/apples and cherries. Each city has its unique attractions and range of prices, but overall, DC is cheaper than the other two, and also has less variety of stuff to do or reasons to come here. [/quote]
