What’s the next step after pop-up cities?

Wonder if you could have a PopupBnB

Participants go to an app and register a group of N which declares certain time/place bounding box, locks funds into an escrow contract (say 1 week’s cost), and appoints a p-of-q governing group by vote

Potential host cities also sign up with some basic pre-commits.

Convert popup to an RFP

Towns bid to host, with a cost and % of constraints satisfied

Committee votes to accept bid and issues invite with 1 week window to accept. Sooner you accept, lower the cost.

Those who don’t accept lose escrow amount after 1 week. 

Earnest money released to winning bidder.

The version that I had is: you lock up $N into a box that specifies parameters for a popup that they would join (this could be just a list of specific popup manifest files that specify organizer, location and time slot, or it could be more complex), and the funds can be grabbed once a popup reaches some threshold.

The funds then pay for the popup, and also serve as an incentive to actually come. This can be naturally combined with some involvement from the host city, or any other functionality.

This seems like a more elegant way to do it. More Web3ish pattern. My sketch seems overengineered in a Web2 way.
