not just in the US If you life anywhere where there had been a large increase in cost of rent and/or housing moving can be a _major and long term_ financial burden even if you ignore the direct cost and complexity of moving. I case of property, especially if not payed of, it can mean a money loss you might take years to recover from and in case of rent it might include a non small increase in monthly cost. This can easily make the difference between having a decent live and scrapping by. And this isn't even including all the other negative effects, like getting further away from friends and family (and support networks), children needing to change school, you needing a new baby sitter, etc. But especially very low income families often _are deeply depended_ on such factors. *Moving is luxury, at least with today economy.* At the same time not moving to get a job is also luxury, so I guess people with low income are just majorly screwed.
