And I can get an apartment, probably in a sweet neighborhood for $300 a month in a day? I know you are not this naive.
Moving doesn't solve your problems. It puts a band-aid on them. Sooner or later the problems you had will come back. Whether it's in New Orleans, Illinois or Mars.

In college, I had a two bedroom apartment for $400, it was clean and in a good area. Easily big enough for 3 kids and a wife, maybe a little uncomfortable, but none more then the crap they are dealing with now.
You go into these small towns and you will get a job, doing something, right away. I don't think this is naive.
Sure it would take alot of balls to leave 'what you know' but again, why make these kids or yourself for that matter suffer through this, when 200 miles north is a solution?
