Um, no. It's a lot more complicated than that. Not everyone can easily pick up and move from their current residence, from their family, from their home, from their under-paying but still paying job. Especially not when unemployment levels are what they are.

Furthermore, moving is also incredibly expensive -- we're in the process right now, and we're fortunate to be able to handle the curve balls, but most people don't have an extra $800+ lying around as a non-refundable deposit on the completely-full-up apartments in my not-as-high-end-as-that-number-makes-you-think area.

So, no, most people can't just pick up and move to Calyforniyah, whar the jobs are, and unicarns frolic in the front yard. I think someone wrote a book about that, even.
