    People take this advice, move to a lower COL area and rise the COL.

    People that handed the advice now complains that they can’t afford to live in their not-so-low-COL-anymore area

  That’s where the jobs are.

  Not much for good paying work in podunk towns.

    Just commute for an hour to work every day. Ew, no, we don’t want to fund buses, that’s for poors. Pay for it yourself.

  At which point, Id have to spend the money saved on housing on buying, fueling, maintaining and insuring a car, if I was even able to drive one in the first place.

      Sure thing, just need to find a jedi to teach me the force so that I can move and assemble the parts in the factory without actually being there.

      Gotta work from home, but keep your mailing address somewhere expensive like Seattle. The pay is higher if you ‘live’ somewhere expensive for some reason. I guess you work better if you live somewhere expensive.
