B.S.
If they cannot afford it, they can move. My parents moved, I have moved, it f'ing sucks, but it's completely possible and feasible and the responsible thing to do.
- b6 9y agoDownvoters, please explain yourselves. Parent post is fundamentally making a statement about what is possible. If you think it is impossible, the burden is on you to explain why, considering it is possible even to escape from an actual prison, and we are talking about the possibility of escape from SV!

- dragonwriter 9y agoIt's feasible and responsible in some circumstances (e.g., you are comfortable with savings, then your income collapses and you have no near term prospects, but you have a working vehicle, a destination with better prospects, and savings to cover costs during the move and in the gal between relocation and securing a job or at least establishing local benefit eligibility. (Or, in place of savings, softer assets like a social network that includes people willing to provide short term assistance in the destination location, either in cash or in kind, such as a place to stay.) If you are working but food insecure without savings or such alternative support assets, then even if the long-term prospects are better in the destination, it may not be l feasible or, even if feasible, responsible because of the transition costs. You can't make up for starvation today with better long-term prospects.
