Hi Committee! The proposal looks good. I like the fact that you've covered the fiscal sponsorship issue (triumph!). However, I have concerns that AirBnB (according to some) may be partly responsible for driving up rents in big markets (such as those in Los Angeles and I imagine DC) by making it more attractive for landlords to put an entire building up for rent via AirBnB where prices would be much higher than for a typical residential rental.[1] However, other housing/rooming options could be just fine (I've heard good things about hostels) and I like that you're being budget conscious. Can we swing it so the dates coincide with peak cherry blossom time ;-) [1] Logan, T. (2015, Jun 10). 2 SIDES OF AIRBNB; site pushes a mom-and-pop image as fast growth brings scrutiny.
