Maybe just live in an affordable area.

  And be self employed because there are no jobs in the area.

    The jobs will follow when employers can’t hire anyone. If one wants to live in a urban dump to have a certain job, that’s fine, but don’t expect government intervention if they employer does not pay a living wage.

      So the plan is to move somewhere with no jobs and wait for the opportunities to materialize?
      • madengr 7y ago
        It’s not binary. Move somewhere with some jobs, maybe for lesser pay with better cost of living. Then other (higher paying) jobs may follow, which will raise the pay for everyone.

          >maybe for lesser pay with better cost of living. That's almost never a good economic decision. In reality what people tend to do is move far outside of the city and commute an hour or more each way into the city. And this is only a feasible because the negative externalities of car ownership are heavily subsidized.

    You could be a programmer and work remotely. <Chortling with unholy glee>
