Title: Sleeping arrangements
Post by: Dreamlord on June 02, 2015, 11:22:04 PM
This convention I noticed a lot of people sleeping on the cement & in their cars. Is it possible to have emergency housing assistance for the people who waited too long to get a hotel? Say have a place where they can share a room with other convention go-ers for a split cash amount.

Perhaps they could advertise it more, but every year there's a thread on the forums to get roomless people together with people who want to share their rooms. Lots of people use it successfully, even up to the last week before the convention. Staff and moderators do their best to get everyone who posts needing a room into that thread so they can find someone.

Only a small amount of attendees use the forums regularly, though, so I don't know how well-known this resource is outside of the forums.
