When I tell him I went to undergrad at Bard College, a liberal arts school, he laughs and reminds me that I, too, am part of an elite. “Perhaps,” I acknowledge, “but even so, I can’t afford to stay here.” Later that night, I hear storm clouds roaring outside the window of my more modest Airbnb and I worry, not for the first time, abo…
