My, how society is collapsing. I live in the Bay Area (Oakland) and accepted that I will never own a home years ago. I live well, but I’ll always be a renter because I don’t want to move some place more affordable. Why? I have tickets for a lot of live shows this year that wouldn’t exist in most other cities.
I wouldn’t go through the hours of airport misery for shows that aren’t huge. I’m seeing shows that I can get to by train, uber, or even a short walk for a couple of venues. Investing thirty minutes of travel is a no-brainer. Multiple hours has to be tremendously special. Plus the time I’d have to take from work each time. You don’t just fly in after working a full day and fly back after the show without a lot of investment. There’s no way flying would be manageable. And then the added cost.

What? You can just fly into the city?
