Those "conventions" and most of the hotel stays are to lobby congress.
The price of a decent hotel in DC is far beyond the budget of the
average tourist. (you have to have "lobbyist money for that)

Of course there are still some flop houses that you might be able to
afford but I wouldn't go there without a police escort.

Most tourists will stay in Maryland or Virginia and hop the Metro to
get into town. The last time we were there we stayed in Old Town
(Alexandria)

Gee, that's not what the cite says......

It's an advertisement. Notice the reference to the 'backyard'. That's where folks stay - Virginia
and Maryland. It's why the Metro is so crowded whenever something is happening in DC. Folks are
coming in from MD and VA.

Most federal employees live in Md and DC too. That is why traffic is
such a nightmare. They now try to get as far away from DC as they can.
People are commuting in from as far away as Harry's neighborhood.

I think you meant to say most live in MD and 'VA' too. And you're right about Harry's area. Driving
south on Rt 4, during rush hour, is packed.

Ha... We have a road through our area that goes from town to town. When
I was a kid you might see twenty cars there in a day. Now it's not
uncommon to pass twenty cars going the opposite direction in the one
mile length I travel on... I found a map a while back from 1955, there
were about 20 streets in town, now there are over 200... In the last few
years really the traffic tieup from Hartford rush hour has made it all
the way to our exit afternoons. It's not bad but you do slow down to
about 35-45 for about a mile or two.
