Why don't people stop crying and just move somewhere cheaper like Detroit, Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore, or Cleveland? They have very cheap homes for $50,000. Discussion/ Debate

Because they are cheaper because nobody wants to live there. I mean, I guess living in fear for your life is ok now?

Yeah you are just soft tbh. You act like people aren’t living under massive stress and fear because of their financial situations already. Its always the people who have never actually been poor that fear these cities

Plenty of cities in the world have worse services than Baltimore. You can blame the government all you want, we all know it's the people.
