It’s an attempt to avoid the property being used for disruptive or illegal activities — drugs, prostitution, underage consumption of alcohol and parties for such and otherwise — and to avoid catering to the local homeless population.

Passport card and/or passport works fine as ID for adults at such properties in Milwaukee, even if holding a local driver’s license or other state ID with a local address within 30 miles. And more times than not, local properties there will avoid enforcement of such a local resident ban if the local doesn’t get profiled as being a problem customers of the sort mentioned in my prior paragraph. I don’t know if the state laws on lodging services have changed in more recent years, but a state law applicable to Wisconsin hoteliers used to restrict the grounds upon which hoteliers may lawfully deny needed lodging services.
