Is this gouging or what?
I'm a little upset with my city today. We get a lot of revenue from tourism. We welcome all visitors. Does this sound excessive to you. Send them a note, tell them what you think http://www.cbc...

I live in this city, the Nations Capital.
It's a city that relies heavily on tourism.
Every year the city spends $1000s to attract tourists.
This year they're renting plots measurering 25x25 ft that start at $225 up to $1000, no services except for portapotty, no picnic tables.
They have around 200 sites that will average out to $100,000 in total sales.
I doubt it will cost that much to clean up. As far a security, it's in the city, already patrolled by police.
It just irks me, nickel and dime attitude in a city of one million.
How did you come to the figures of $225.00 to $1000.00 (is this CN or US?)?
As for police cost that always increases when more people are in the same area; think parades and protests and the heightened law enforcement they bring out. As well as possible O/T costs, increased sanitation and sewer costs.
Of course if your city of 1 million wants to pick up the extra costs I'm issue-less as long as NYC doesn't do business that way:B.
