Leaving for a less expensive city would be giving into weakness.

If they did, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't be all that radical or inspiring or profitable.Yes, you can kick a "weak" horse.

You take a weak-minded ignoramus's dreams of affluence, put a tiny price tag on them, and hand them a slip of paper that serves as a certificate of authenticity for their dreams.That's all you have to do to whore those fantasies out for $2 forever.

Work with good people running solid operations, then think about the market you prefer to be in.A weak operator will ruin the best deals in the best markets, I now look more deeply into who I’m doing business with, rather than where.

what I find interesting after  looking at some of these websites, is that most of the homeless are NOT chronically homeless.... 

I would start with a duplex if it were me, so I can get the best return (your money goes further) If you get a weak return you're going to be in this  and when something goes wrong it's not going to be worth it and you won't like REI.  

They can barely afford to pay their mortgages and taxes there and live in perpetual fear that they'll have to downgrade or move their kids out of the school system they're in, an unthinkable loss of social status.As their kids grow, they unthinkingly strengthen then strong and weaken the weak, culminating in too many avoidable instances of weak, brittle, fearful young people of privilege who are unable to deal with any sort of real adversity and only really do anything when faced with the possibility that inaction might significantly damage their own precious social status, documented daily on Instagram, Facebook, etc.So in my private life of old friends and family, I find myself somewhat hemmed in by incredibly hard-working people who care a great deal about social status and constantly make utterly inane excuses about why they're all so damned broke as they drive massively depreciating cars and live in houses that are dumpster fires of various expenses.

Let the weak make bad decisions and the wise flourish.

Borrowing will help bridge the gap for a little while, but unless the loans are truly forgivable, it just kicks the can down the road and makes a weak balance sheet weaker.

The same people that have compromised or weak immune systems existed back then when the H1N1 flu came out, and nobody cared then.
