> If you’re genuinely that poor, moving is cheap. Abandon the implied worthless property, catch a greyhound out of town.

When you're genuinely poor, your local community is a critical survival tool that can't be discarded. You've spent your whole life building a set of relationships through mutual help. When your car dies and you can't afford to go to a mechanic, you have a friend of a friend who can fix cars who owes you one since you helped replace his fence a few years back. That kind of thing, but every day, in a hundred ways.

Throwing that out to move to a city where you have nothing is a great way to end up homeless.
