I don't understand this. The CPI for 2008 was -1.3. Its the first time in decades that many programs had no cost of living increases because the cost of living didn't go up. Rents are coming down. Why charge the kids in a hostel more ? The new CPI is coming out on the 18th. I wonder if anybody does a local CPI. I do realize that a national CPI may not be accurate in a piney little hamlet off the beaten path. Discuss.
Here's a breakdown of the rate changes at the Davison Hostel. Note this season was the first season in three years they changed the rates. These prices include the 13% transient occupancy tax. Most rates were raised, other rates were lowered or stayed the same. I'm guessing it doesn't have to do so much with CPI, but supply and demand...
