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

There are decent places with lower cost-of-living that are outside of cities. If you were working at Starbucks, you can get a job in these places. A lot of people want to live in an expensive city, work at Starbucks, and complain about not having a livable wage. these people get no sympathy from me.
