Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't the people who visit Pismo pay local taxes, provide local employment at restaurants, buy gas at the local gas station, etc?

Or they bring a cooler full of food/beer along with a full tank of gas. Leave a mess and don't spent a dime in the area.

Then they won't pay the bed tax anyway.

I've got an idea. Since the government is probably going to keep on giving existing players legislative help to keep competition out anyway maybe what we should do is pass an "Innovation stiflation act". That is, if you come to the government asking for a law to keep out your competitors then they assign an assessor (the same guy who values my house 40%" above what I could actually get for it) to evaluate how much re…

That assessor will be bribed.

Instead of advocating an idea that attempts to turn two wrongs into a right (tacking more regulation onto a problem you admit is caused by regulation), advocate for something more fundamental: the complete separation of state and economics.
