[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of affordable areas of the country to live.[/quote]

I think you are missing the point.  There was an article recently about some random town in Michigan…probably an affordable area in your eyes.

Well, the median price has doubled in just the last 5 years because of people selling from high cost area and moving there.  Great for them, but now the locals are priced out.

Now they have a homeless problem…mainly due to local jobs not paying enough and rents increasing as much as owning.

It cascades.[/quote]

Then these priced-out people need to move to an even cheaper town/city/zip code /state.  Their inertia and lack of hustle is not a “crisis.”

[b]There are vast, vast swaths of the United States that have plenty of homes and these do overlap with adequate jobs. [/b]

Domestic migration is a tradition in the US, or it used to be.

If your rent goes up to the point you can’t afford it, and you have no specialized skills keeping you tied to, say, semi-coastal Maine, then you need to move inland. Or to upstate NY. Or Iowa.

All of these places are looking for certified nursing assistants and have low rent options. You’re not entitled to Camden or Knoxville.

Great...list 5 of them for us. The adequate jobs part needs to support your locations.[/quote]
