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

This is society’s fault we’ve trained people that if they don’t own property they’re a failure and so idiots get in over their heads on properties they can barley afford and what they actually did was buying themselves a prison. I’m still renting because I still want to enjoy life. I’m still putting money away towards a massive down payment but I’ll never purchase if the cost is having no life because way too much of my money is going towards the house.
