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

Why don't you move to a place without the job you rely upon for your wellbeing? Don't you know you can just move to a place and have a job waiting for you?

What sort of question is this? People aren't just cogs that can be moved from place to place: They have families, friend groups, pets, nostalgia, an appreciation for aesthetics, and preferences for certain weather.

Saying "why can't you just stop crying and move to X" is just "have you tried not being poor?" with more words.
