Have you thought about leaving the US? I moved to the Czech Republic (US citizen) and you can live well here - without the car and lower income. Very good public transportation, it's safe, not a lot of violent crime, and the prices are quite reasonable. (For now - everything is going up in price, but I can still live quite comfortably)

I considered moving to Mexico and did substantial research into that possibility before deciding against. I'm off the street. My firsthand testimony on the topic is absolutely not a solicitation for advice for me personally.

Saying poor Americans with portable income should just leave the country doesn't strike me as a real solution, for a long list of reasons.
