That may well be Floyd, but people move for lots of reasons. l have a friend who works in the Hotel Industry and he was telling me that their Chef quit his job and flew to the Philippines to be with a woman he met 2 weeks ago over the Internet. If " Love" can make people do that- what about Money? You make rational points but the possibility is out there for some people to make all kinds of decisions that you would define as goofy, but they do it nonetheless- even you must admit that
Consider a person playing the " One armed Bandit" in a Casino, and if that person hits it Big, next thing you know people are taking over that exact same seat as though another winner is in the works. Same philosophy.
People move for a lot of reasons, but they're almost always logical reasons. A better job or a better chance of findng a job have already been mentioned. Lower cost of living. Better skiing or surfing.
Moving might give you better options for buying lottery tickets if you live in a state without a lottery. Other than that, do you really think that moving can increase your chance of winning the lottery? What other reasons would make you move when there's less than a 1 in 1000 chance that reason will ever happen?
