Hello Everybody, I was wondering if anybody here could give me any advice on where to move in southeast area of the United States and the best way to get there. I am in a rush to leave because i live in a really awful overcrowded house and i live in an area with no resources whatsoever. I have to live in a house with almost no insulation and half assed windows and i live as far north as possible so it's brutally cold. I have been living here for almost 20 years. I do not want to be anywhere rural and i just want to live in a city or at least near one.
So basically my major issues are
What are the best cities in the southeast to move to (mostly concerned only about cheap cost of living, easy access to transportation such as buses and trains, and employment rate):
What is the best way to rent an apartment in area i'm not living in or can't visit (should i rent a trailer or try and find an apartment when i won't have an income there as far as i know)
Which cities would I have an easy time in getting to a job on foot (I don't care if i have to take a bus or walk to work as long as i can make it to a job on a regular basis)
I don't have my license yet and I owe another ~800 dollars before i can get it back from the DMV. I only have about 500 in my wallet right now. I have a job but i barely get any hours and i try to find money other ways but i live in an abondoned hick town right now so it's very difficult. I just want to find a place i can take a bus from New York and start a new life for myself. I have no qualms about living in a cheap place making minimum wage for now as long as i have somewhere i can begin to start a life for myself. I have a high school diploma and about 54 college credits in criminal justice with a seperate certificate from a technical institute (I wanted to do campus police or armed security). I am thinking Florida right now but the humidity might be a little overwhelming so i'll just go where ever i can find the best state economy. Thank you all
