Ask HN: Why are tools for local events a "perennial tarpit"?
Hi,
In PG's essay on reasons startups fail (http://www.paulgraham.com/startupmistakes.html)
he mentions in #10 that "...[servicing] People interested in local events...is a perennial tarpit."
I'd like to understand people's thoughts on why. Is the space too crowded? Are the typical solutions simply bad or not specific enough?

Thanks for your thoughts!
