Perhaps correct in theory, but not in reality.

Some airports do indeed have requirements that include maintaining
insurance, office space, restrooms, parking facilities, etc. And if your
local airport does, good luck finding anyone in the Federal Government that
will help an independent CFI fight it.

I would hope it's a rare situation, but it was discussed on one of the
rec.aviation groups a year or so ago, and several people acknowledged the
problem with their local airport. So it does indeed happen.
