> Today, in response to various local, state and federal officials asking people not to travel to Washington, D.C., we are announcing that Airbnb will cancel reservations in the Washington, D.C. metro area during the Inauguration week.

Makes sense, at first I just assumed it was an unnecessary blanket ban but if the area isn't condoning travel in general it checks out.

It’s understandable. At the same time it’s also sad and disappointing for the people that wanted to travel there for celebration purposes.
Given the virus, travelling for celebration also seems like something that should be discouraged.
Honestly having been to some inaugurals I'm not a fan. Seems backwards to me.

What we would have is celebrations at the end of your term, for what you accomplished.

I'm very much in the "I'm upset this is necessary, but I also don't really see what other choices people have" camp.
