Do you want mass migration out of your state? Because this is how you get mass migration out of your state.
Except for the fact that most of the people who can't afford rent can't afford to move to another state either.
Plus there's the ones who can't leave because of family or work.
If moving both yourself and who/what you need with you was free, almost nobody would live in non-Nashville Tennessee.
I love my non nashville tennessee city, and love my state. But I hate our state's legislature. And nashville honestly
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...
True.
I'd frankly be terrified about furniture and such in case of a time-pressing move.
Bu-ut I sleep on a carpet to fight insomnia half the time, so.
So long as businesses continue to develop capital projects that demand human labor, people will continue to migrate to the capital in order to secure livable wages. These policies are far more in line with a state that's actively gentrifying and wants to force low-wage residents out than one that's afraid it can't get high wage professionals to move in.
The low wage workers who they are trying to drive out make the place attractive to be a high wage earner. No high wage earner wants to live somewhere they can’t reliably order a pizza or go out for a drink, which is what you get if all the low wage people leave.
That's why you'll find slums in most major cities.
