"There are an estimated 3,000-3,500 rooms for visitors in Bar Harbor, not counting campgrounds and vacation rentals."

--P.S.--I think this is a good example why one Councilor's comment that "The call for data is misplaced" ought to be a real eye-opener. Just because something gets repeated so frequently as to feel self-evident doesn't make it true. Data, obviously, should always be present in every important conversation. Only someone who knows or suspects the data does not support their position would say otherwise.
