Moving from San Francisco to New York is hard. Moving from San Francisco to a low-cost portion of the Central Valley is less hard (and an actual practical thing that lots of low earners probably do before they become homeless).

No. Moving from SF to NYC is not easier than moving to the Central Valley. The difficulties are different.

When I was six we moved to the easiest place to move to: early 90s greater Toronto Area. No crime. Lots of jobs. Lots of good will from the natives. It was tough.

The Central Valley is ravaged by unique social issues. To dismiss the issues because it’s cheap to live there is insane.
