$4/gal gasoline and overcrowded highways, it becomes a BIG problem.

Half-smart people will move to where they can afford to live *and* work.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Family, housing prices or rental costs
and even health issues can come into play. I'm forced to remain within quick
travelling distance of some large metropolitan hospital for health reasons.
I'd love to move to some smaller town with its small town atmosphere, but
for me, it's not to be. ~ Not if I want to stay healthy enough to enjoy life
to some degree.
