But then you have popular series like Uchuu Kyoudai and especially One Piece that completely go against this theme.
Both these series are about pursuing dreams despite hardships in the past or despite being older and possibly expected to be settled.

an American living in New York would have great difficulty travelling to the San Diego Comic Con, and in fact is very likely to never have even been to the West Coast in his entire life

I wouldn't call it great difficulty but of course there is a cost involved: not just airfare but hotel and so forth.
There is also a NYCC of course.
As for going to the UK VS the West coast from the East Coast, honestly I think the cost is almost the same. Maybe I am exaggerating a bit though. I have done both, although have never made it to SDCC, one day hopefully.
