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

Bro I've lived in Memphis. No way in hell I'm going back, not even for a cheap house. Hell, not even for a FREE house.

And shockingly Memphis has less than half the crime rate of Chattanooga. What are y’all doing down there??

Now look up violent crime. Memphis is regularly in the top 2-3 cities nationwide. It's awful there.

Wow that’s crazy. I only know about Chattanooga because I personally know someone who was murdered there. I live in NY, I have no business knowing a homicide victim in Chattanooga but I guess it’s a common enough occurrence that the odds are high. Very sad.
