It doesn't take months to travel 300 miles by car. Bringing in income during the long trip is not a realistic issue.

It's going to take at least a week, and a lot of gas. We're talking about people who already aren't bringing in much, and so likely don't have anything saved up.

Have you never loaded everything you own in a car and moved before? It does not take a week. And driving 300 miles takes 6 hours in an RV, not 7 days. Within a 300 mile radius of SV is everything from LA to Reno to Eureka.

What world do you live in? 300 miles is like a 4 hour drive on the interstate.

Getting to somewhere in the Midwest from SV is far from 300 miles.
