The problem AOC had in regards to moving to DC is a very common one

In 2004 I gave up on finding a teaching job on Ohio and decided to move to NC to teach. I couldn't have afforded to move without my grandmother lending me money to pay for deposit on an apartment and to move. We often ask why people don't move out of economically depressed areas to ones where there is more work. One big reason is it costs a great deal of money to move and often the people in question have at best a dead end job with little to no savings. AOC had a famous friend to help her, I had my grandmother, many people have no one. That is why they don't move.
