Reminder that transportation costs money, most jobs are where the people are, and most jobs aren't wfh.
Also, not everyone can safely live in Redneckistan, what with the rise of fascism in recent years.
Cheap living in blue states exists, ask me how I know.
Red areas exist in all states, though, and those are usually the cheapest parts.
I'm not saying that low cost areas without deal breakers don't exist, just that they're rare and not available to everyone.
Transportation costs are inconsequential when compared to the outrageous rent costs in the inner city. Were talking about a factor of 10+ here for a 30-40min drive/train.
I did that drive for 8 years so I could afford a 4 bed house, it was fine. The same money, a stones throw from work couldn't buy me a cardboard box
If you think your time is worth the extra rent costs then don't complain about the rent costs?
Redneckistan doesn't exist in my country so it's a non factor. I had no idea that concept encapsulated 100% of the area outside cities.
I've got bad news for you.
