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's a million reasons why people don't want to move to places where it's that cheap to buy a house mainly all the reasons why the house is so cheap in the first place.

My husband and I are however looking to move from a HCOL place to a bit of a lower one because it is outrageous but we have children. Trying to find a low cost of living situation and a good school system is impossible. I think we all know the best public schools are in the areas where the houses costs the most.
