Re: Early bird special for COMMON - COMMON Housing

Definitely it is fair to ask why.  All organizations need watchdogs on
their expenses.  Sometimes non profits can get rather altruistic.

  I'm not saying that that's why they have risen.  What I'm saying is that
taking it down a day should give them 15-20% relief on costs.  So when the
price goes UP by 10-15%, I think it's fair to ask why!

  I also think that the value of used to be a slam-dunk.  Price hikes might
cause attendance to drop even more (at a time that travel is already
reduced!)  Then it becomes a vicious cycle...
