LOL I wish opportunities like that were in this area. Its a very small town. We have two apartment complexes and both are expensive and everything else is houses. Sure he could meet someone but he'd have a hell of a time getting to our neighbors and they work out where I do, that's a 40 minute drive no way he could walk it. We don't live in an area of opportunity, our old town was like that but not this place. Its small and country.
He can get a bike. But...no need if the goal is to get him to save for a UHaul, and move back to his parents.
Or just a room. Renting a room in a house with roommates is pretty cheap. The dog can stay with you if the new landlord doesn't take dogs.
Txt, you say he can stay while he saves up money, but he's not going to clean or help while he is there. He might even get messier to punish you and prove that you're not the boss of him or whatever.
Sorry it didn't work out. Jettison that sluggard, get your place clean, and enjoy how it stays clean when you're not there.
Good luck.
He says that I couldn't keep it clean if it was just me but with how much I work I'm only here to sleep and on my days off and on my days off I sleep half the day to "catch" up on sleep and clean the other half. This place would stay spotless, aside from the occasional mess the dog made, which he wouldn't make if the trash was taken out regularly.
With a picture of that creepy doll from Saw with the caption "I want to play a game".
In the text I said "The game is: I've hidden your playstation controllers. When you get home the only way to see your controllers alive again is to clean with me for an hour. No negotiations. Clean or the controllers get it." Then texted I picture of his controllers with sad eyes(made them from notebook paper) next to a note that says "help us".
If this works I am going to start hiding his controllers in the morning before I leave for work until he texts me a picture of what he cleaned and then I text him the location to the controllers.

This is the type of strategy I've seen in child-rearing newspaper columns, about how to get a difficult 6-year-old to do what they're supposed to do. Withhold TV until they clean their room or do their homework.
If you are not going to put him out, you are not going to insist he do his part, you are going to make excuses for him time after time and you are playing games with the controllers of a game box, why did you even start this thread?
You appear no more serious about fixing this situation than the cows that live in the pasture next door to me.
I think you both need to mature since you are obviously chronologically an adult already.
