Where though? At the end we're really talking about arbitrage. Places with jobs are expensive to live in, places that are cheap to live in don't have jobs.

There's no way to win, except maybe temporarily exploiting an arbitrage opportunity (i.e., a place with jobs but the cost of living hasn't caught up yet). Expecting people to do this is unreliable at an individual level, and disastrous as public policy.

Ultimately the only mid- to long-term solution is to help make job centers cheaper to live in.



There are many affordable and large and fast growing cities with great pay. Dallas, Houston, Boise, and SLC to name a few.
