"No one forces anyone to live anywhere." The problem is a lot of people are tied to a certain goegraphical area. The person might be old, and needs the assistance of Very hard to cultivate true friends, or family. The person might not be the most economically viable specimen? The person might have a hard time doing manual labor? The person might be one of the millions that should qualify for dissabliity, but doesn't. The person is so close to being homless, this magical move to mystical cheaper part of the country might be the last straw? "I'll spend my last $1000 on moving my belongings across the country. Hopefully I'll find an apartment that doesn't require a security deposit, first and last, and perfect credit? I hope my heating bill won't be high? I hope that minimum wage job is waiting?" A lot of hope? No wonder we have such a problem with Homelessness? (My last move was 6 grand) It's not so easy to up and move when you don't have a nest egg, or a job that doesn't moves well, or a retirement, or helpful friends/family. I'm tired of debating housing. I know a lot of you hate rent control--fine, I kinda get it in certain markets. A lot of you blame prop 13 in California--I think that's just blame becuse you ran out of reasons. Good luck building high density housing. Good luck trying to ease restrictions on adding on to existing residential homes. I got a ticket because I parked on the street last night. Good luck making it harder for foreigners to buy our land.(Right as we speak their are foreigners, for instance Chinese buying our land with a phone call.) So back to, "No one forces anyone to live anywhere." No they don't--Slick. What are these people suppose to do? Forget about living off the lands, like our Frontieer forefathers did. Camping for free--where? Hunting, and fishing without a paying money? Those days are long gone. We are tied into living a certain modern way. A way where pretty much everything costs money. Any deviants will be fined, and punished. What are poor people, people on fixed incomes, people who don't have marketable skills, people without fancy degrees, and oh, so helpful parents, at opportune times suppose to do? That's right move to the Midwest, and hope Wallmart is hiring? And why do you think people in these mystical low rent areas are moving to high rent areas? It's not the beautiful beaches/mountians. It's the hope of a job, and a better life. Not even a better job--a shit job that's becomming harder to get. "Hay--l'll join the sharing economy? "I'll spend my last wad on a 2008 four door vechicle, and live in it?" Yea, I got mad. I know too many people whom are basically homeless. A large percentage of them are former Programmers. I don't see a solution. I think we need to open up large sectors of land across the United States that a person, or family could camp for free. Kinda like Kibbutzes?
