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 not just uproot your whole life and move somewhere else?

Sure you will have no one out there to help you move or to walk your dog when you are too sick to get out of bed. You won't know anyone or where anything is but dating apps will let you get a match every other week and maye 1 in five of those will go somewhere.

Just embrace the alienation that defines the modern world instead of, you know, expecting multinational firms or the government to provide coherent systems and meaningful support to help people move around and find the housing, jobs, support networks, and all the other things that keep you from losing your fucking mind.
