I'm not sure what you're arguing. If I want to see good theatre and eat at good restaurants I mostly have to travel to them, maybe a modest distance but certain

  Yeah, that's fair, apologies my thought was half baked. I think its really a story about places we want to cultivate, where we can cultivate those places, and who can make a go of it in a changing world where locality is not as rigid as it once was. One of the places I dwell part of the year is within walking distance (5-10 minutes) of amazing authentic restaurants (Indian, Mexican, Bolivian, etc), a world class art center and theater, more than one college campus. The urban core of this town can support these businesses and experiences without a whole lot of intention, because of the local population and that somewhat static demand. In the cases of this restaurant, at an observatory, it takes a lot more effort to keep it running as an ongoing concern (as a destination experience), but those businesses and experiences are valuable too. How to keep them going (so we collectively continue to enjoy and experience) merits more understanding, imho, and patrons must be ready to spend to provide support. Again, I apologize for not cohesively expressing the thought initially, I hope this follow up has made the idea more cogent.
