Maybe locals with guest rooms could offer to host attendees on a budget à la couchsurfing.
It could even further improve the social experience of ietf.

I also know many people who’s IETF participation and work is self funded and are not part of big corporations And are major contributors.
And I think there's never been an IETF in recent memory where there weren't budget hotels nearby. If the local host can also arrange nearby student-hostel style rooms, that's a good idea, of course.
For example, right around the corner from the Hilton is the HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel.
Has both shared and private rooms.
