I really dislike this rhetoric. You are not wrong but at the same time I think too many groups hold fast to this notion that people are weak and powerless and need government to take care of them. So if you can’t move, you’re just gonna stay for the rest of your life in a state you hate? No way, live free or die. It might take longer but it can be done.
I don’t think that’s entirely realistic, I was able to do it when I worked at McDonald’s and they actually pay better here relative to rents than they did at the time. There a certainly people in that situation but it’s a relatively small %.
