I agree on the subletting part, but why is hosting dinner parties "not widely applicable"?

  from my perspective, both require way more disposable income and time than is reasonably available. perhaps i'm not being charitable and full disclosure: i don't live near many friends.

    Sometimes the lessons of fairy tales teach us valuable lessons- in this case, read 'Stone Soup'[0] for inspiration. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup#Story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup#Story

    In my social circle, it is rude to be invited to a dinner party and then neither bring some food nor come early to help with cooking/setup. Amount of disposable income and time needed is less than you think.

  Not the same person, but in my case: - I don't have friends nearby, so I'd be mostly having a "come one, come all" potluck with strangers in my building. - All the units in my building are the same, so no one is curious to come over. - About half the units are corporate apartments rented by Google for visiting employees and applicants. - No one uses the online message board, except the leasing office employees.
