Yes, but living and existing are different.
Many people don’t live in base and have great quality of life. Not everyone wants to live in 6 possible cities, wondering when/if you’ll have to uproot the family to move to another base, if/when yours closes.
Hardly a false narrative, it’s a fact.
Some pilots just dont obsess on the negative as much as others. You clearly are not cut out for commuting, which is fine; the irony will be IF they ever close your base, you’ll be the first on here to complain about the base closing and how it affects your life.
