Moving costs money that's hard to get when you already can't afford life, and further isolates you until you get integrated into the new community. It's a risky proposition. A lot of people who find themselves homeless got there by moving without being prepared for the other end.

Yeah, I prepared for moving for a bunch of years before I moved. A bunch of years, as miserable as I was in Seattle, moving away from my safety net was scary. I'm much happier in Dallas, thats as much weather and how different people are here.
