I think a down bid within base is possible under extreme circumstances ...
Many of the last round of displacements are arriving from ONT ... nothing to downbid within base there.
I moved to SDF to avoid the commute ... a lot of good that did.
Moving to ANC is out of the question until we find another buyer for the home we just bought, and thought we had sold !
So your suggestions are easier said than done ... FWIW
