It's a classic fallacy where people refuse to prepare a second best fallback option because they can't accept the possibility of plan A not working. Very very foolish behavior since often the best way to improve your negotiating position to get what you really want is to have another alternative. Reddit would be more likely to give them what they want if every day they were getting more established at a new location rather than slowly deflating back on reddit.
