According to you though, they get frowned upon. I was just clarifying that point exactly. They are free to choose.

Imagine it though, everyone wants to go? You surely see that can't happen. I mean, looking at it from my perspective - I manage a team of folk at work, they simply just can't all go to Glastonbury otherwise nothing would get done at work.

On the basis that all earn the same perhaps you have a point but seeing as they don't .... and in fact some people earn nothing, some are therefore subsidised by others. That's the nature of shared income communal living.

I think there are elements of practicality and affordability. Surely we have exhausted this - I know I have.
