Then don’t live somewhere that gets hurricanes?

  Houston TX, Asheville NC ? Any ideas for solving poverty in Louisiana so the people who are there can afford to leave?

    What's affording to leave? A $50 bus ticket to anywhere else? Plenty of places give those away for free to avoid dealing with homeless people

      Where will they go after that and afford food, water, etc after this proverbial bus trip?

      When someone says "I can't afford to leave" they're rarely talking about the transport specifically, don't be so obtuse.

      First two months rent, 30x rent income requirements, having family to room with some place else

      Where does that $50 come from? If you do manage to save that, where does the money for rent, etc in the destination come from? Where do the savings to help you buy food until you can get a job come from? Moving locations is not just the cost of a ticket - even though that itself may be more than can be afford - so don’t be an ass when talking about people who are in poverty. Just try to be a decent person and consider that other people’s circumstances may not match your own, and sometimes it’s not a trivial fix.
