it's not community spaces dude.

it's that going out was CHEAP.

i could go out in 2006 with my friends on a friday night for $20. hell 10 years ago i could go out for $50 or so.

now going out on a friday night costs you closer to $200. that's not possible for a college kid, unless that college kid has mommy and daddy's credit card.

the COL basically means unless you have lots of money, you can't ever go out anymore. a fucking movie ticket is 20-25 dollars now. I used to see movies for 3-5 bucks when I was young.

the value of the dollar has collapsed.
