Yeah, but people who are food insecure can't usually borrow $15,000 in unsecured debt.
Plus, this presumes the ability to also maintain income (in absolute terms, not just relative to.local costs) in a relocation. I guess if the food insecure people are also working jobs they can do remotely, that's reasonable, but if they are doing low-wage in-persom work, even if they can find comparable work in Lincoln, the wages are likely to be lower (clearly so at the lowest end of legal work, since the minimum wage is lower.)
