Ok. Could you ask your government to pay for the security, accomodation, parking and all other expeses then? Actually, your city? Could you also deal with the loss of business due to security disruptions as well? Thanks.

If you didn;t mean to offend, why call it "the most ridiculous argument you've heard BTW. Live for a while in the "Capital of the World" and then get back to me, how irrelevent housing the UN is.
