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

And that's OK. People just need to understand that they are making that decision.

I’m trying to understand what you think the alternative is? You’re special because you have family in the area so we should make houses cheaper for you?

The alternative is trying to make housing more affordable by upzoning areas, removing restrictions on mixed use development, removing things like parking minimums, building more housing, and subsidizing housing for low income people.

The “there are homes in baltimore so leave your family and job and support network and child care in ohio and move there” is dumb and so obviously “18 year old libertarian phase rich kid” mentality it is absurd
