Bases can close, too. Just ask SFO or PIT folks.
Different strokes... Definitely
Thirty years of flying with and observing commuters and locals validate my comments. Commuting has a cost, and it is a large and multi-faceted one.
If the cost/benefit tilts that way for you, or anyone, and I totally understand that it does for a lot of folks, then that is what it is. One should still be aware of it, and make the choice with their eyes wide open.
And, yes, then don't ***** about it.
