Reply To: Why don't struggling families move out of NY?

pac-man – as some other people pointed out, the cost of living is much lower in other places. So even if salaries are 5-10k a year lower in places outside of NY, it’s still very worthit.

The Wolf – I can completely understand that. We have lots of family living in NY, and it would be a great help to everyone if we lived there too.

gavra – kollel pays better, so if your parents are paying rent for you, then good. But if you are paying your own rent for an apartment, rent is lower outside of NYC. I guess in that situation, it depends who is picking up the tab.

aries – you have made some very important points. I definitely think people consider this, but I feel like they don’t want to go out of their comfort zone, when it comes down to living out of town.
