Why is $700 reasonable either?   How have we let IETF become so 
exclusionary?   Is that really consistent with IETF's mission?

I don't know where you're from.   But I know many places where decent, 
safe, clean rooms can be had for around $75/night. Granted, they're less 
likely to be in large cities, but sometimes they're within reasonable 
commuting distance of city centers.
