None of those actually prevent one from leaving. They are just obstacles, excuses. So, do you keep the shitty job, in the shitty place you call home, to pay those bills and your debt, to live what kind of lifestyle? Sounds like a stuck person.
I don't see what you are trying to prove or say. You just agreed with me that people can be stuck due to their homes, jobs, etc. I agree. One could leave those things but would face legal consequences that would further reduce their quality of life. If you are homeless and go from somewhere cold to somewhere warm you are improving your quality of life.
It wasn't about agreeing or disagreeing. Just trying to show you a different perspective on something you think is simple. And I never suggested abandonment of responsibilities. Most bills will follow you through an address change. I just don't think a temperature change is the deciding factor that would influence someone to move, regardless of income. Of course, there will be exceptions. There always are. But what you see as an improved quality of life, may not be enough of an improvement to pull someone away from their roots. And just because you improve weather conditions, does not mean you have improved access to community, food, and shelter. If you didn't have to worry about bills, would you up and leave for better weather?
If I had to sleep outside and could choose between the cold below freezing weather of Detroit and the warm weather of Miami you bet I would choose based on weather!
Should homeless people travel south for the winter?
