Is that a realistic idea for most low-income people? When you move somewhere, you have to find a place to live, which requires first month's rent, security deposit, etc. Someone who's living on the poverty line most likely doesn't have that kind of cash laying around. If she were to go to a more "prosperous" location, I guarantee the rent would cost significantly more than what she's already paying. That money just doesn't fall out of the sky.
