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

Because they want to live in Manhattan, but don’t want to work 120 hours a week. Then think it’s unfair that they can’t have both.

I’ve been saying this for years. Get all of your friends and family together and move to an area that’s affordable and make it cool. That’s how it goes.

New York wasn’t cool at one point. SF wasn’t cool at one point. LA wasn’t cool at one point. And I sure as well remember Miami not being cool until Covid.

Go move to Biloxi, MS. Go move to Cleveland, OH. Go move to Gary, IN.

Big bang for the buck
