Money angle — Species rarity: Unusual cases may mean fewer local options.
Dense public spaces in Bakersfield are managed environments — private property with owner consent is usually simpler than an unpermitted park gathering.

Cost band above average is only a backdrop; disclosure of process type matters more in Central Valley.
