GammaGlobulin Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) It seems that airport living is becoming trendier. But, might it be preferable to live in a Beijing airport or a Florida airport? Personally, I think the Chinese airport dweller seems the happiest. Would you consider living in an airport? Why? What might be the advantages and disadvantages to airport living? Here ae just three examples, but, as I say, the Beijing Guy seems happiest and most at peace with his lifestyle.... When one is Chinese and one has the right attitude, living anywhere is just....better. Gamma Edited December 30, 2023 by GammaGlobulin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Wonderful. So now American airports will start to look like San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Worked at airports for about 16 years. So last thing I'd want to do is live at one. Besides, having a full kitchen is mandatory. I'd rather live out of a RV, even if just a converted van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you would not be able to park it at the airport without paying SKY HIGH monthly parking costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there are toilets in the airports, presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Given the astronomical cost of food at any airport, I can only conclude GG is having a brain fart. Besides which, any golf course close to an airport is about as interesting as a dentist's chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airports in California appear to be safer than homes. Here's something I didn't even know was an issue. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/chilean-national-burglary-ring-targeting-upscale-neighborhood-back-on-the-prowl-san-diego-police/3177010/ They even have their own acronym, SATGs (South American Theft Groups). https://youngkim.house.gov/2023/06/23/young-kim-works-stop-chilean-gang-home-invasions-protect-public-safety-orange/ Living in airports just might become a thing, a safe spot amid an ocean of theft, robbery, violence, and disorder.

Not getting the 'at the airport' thingy. When I was a wee one, I used to ride my bike to the airport and watch the planes coming in & out. Run amuck in the terminal, slide down the escalators, get chased by the guards. No desire to hang out at airports any more, especially since they put them damn raised round disc in between the escalators. Taking all the joy out of a good slide down. If I could, would I do it again at 70 yrs old .... HELL YEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if airport squatting continues to climb, then toilets are a must. Also, what about setting up soup kitchens so that you can get a free meal with your boarding card? And, showers to minimize the stench of the situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
