Translations:Affordable Gatherings/8/en

Hosts can experience their own pressures. Some report a sense that hosting must be reciprocated in kind, which can discourage people in smaller or less presentable homes from offering at all. Others describe a gradual escalation, where each gathering is expected to exceed the last. Both patterns tend to shrink the number of people willing to host, concentrating the effort in fewer hands and eventually producing quiet resentment.
