Exactly! I moved within the US this fall and the total costs for one person has been about $3000. Why did I move? Many of the same reasons cited in these stories.

The anti-maskers held exclusive Thank-you benefit events at a venue a block away. The flag-waving motorcycle and pick-up truck patrols warmed up at my next door neighbor’s place to the north of me. My health was already compromised by late stage Lyme and co-infections which my Medicare funded doctors largely ignored and blamed on hypochondria. And when Covid-19 hit, my partner had to keep working at his retail business to pay the bills.

There was no better choice than to move back home and live where my family might more easily deal with me and my stuff when I pass.
