Except for the fact that most of the people who can’t afford rent can’t afford to move to another state either.
What do people in USA need to move to another state? Is there some registration paperwork or something?
I mean, it seemed that not, with reading about needing an ID to vote being a point of contention and a tool for disenfranchising voters and such.
The minimal technicalities.
Distance itself matters, but hitchhiking is an option?.. Or if a bicycle is not too expensive?..
Finding a new job seems to be the main problem, but I think it’s similar for people not struggling with rent too. It is simply not an easy predictable thing.
Family - well, same as the previous sentence.
So something specific for people unable to afford rent - they need to, well, be able to afford rent for some short time in the new place and they need to get there and find a job with time constraints, because of not having a buffer of money. Physically moving one’s body seems the easiest part.
Don’t forget about moving their possessions. I don’t know if houses in America come fully furnished, but there’s no way you could sell all your furniture for enough to buy it all back in a new state.
Also people surely have things that they would not want to sell, for personal or practical reasons, right? To pretend the only thing people need to move is themselves feels a little heartless.
And we’ve not even talked about people with families yet…
