Unable to afford $2400 month housing in an expensive city isn't the same thing as destitute.

There's houses available in much of the country for $100,000 or less. I'm fine arguing that people can have the option to struggle paying high rent or move, we don't need to pay the high rent just because they prefer the place.

Those houses are $100k or less because the only jobs nearby don't pay enough to buy something more expensive.

What does that matter if the house is in good condition and has a sensible amount of room for a family?
