Do you know why people tend to stay in the same city? Because they have social connections there. A lot of people can't just up and leave to a different state because they have no social nets if something bad happens. |
Being weak and requiring social support is not an excuse,. Refugees have gone through hell getting from absolutely terrible places and positions to new lands, often alone. I know people that have done that without even knowing the language or anybody else who were homeless for months before finding shelter and eventually a job. Social connections can be dropped and new ones formed and with the internet today you don't even need to fully drop them.
