> Big-name collaborators -- including Code for America, the Sierra Club and REI -- joined Hipcamp to form Access Land ... So it's an ideologue (CfA, a.k.a. Tim O'Reilly) and someone looking to gather more consumer data (REI), asking for mandatory commissions. (I'm not sure why the Sierra Club is involved.) I don't see any real upside to "unleashing the power of markets" on a site to reserve fixed-price campsites on public land. It's not that complicated.
