We are discussing a memoir of a man's life working in the Bay area and living just outside the same.

This memoir was not about Topeka, Kansas. Not that struggling to make rent doesn't happen in Topeka. Not that Topeka isn't filled with people living vibrant lives.

Just, this particular story occurred in the Bay area.

I know. I was speaking to the parent, and the 2000-2020 "you have to be in one of four cities" zeitgeist they are talking about.
