Why do people live in expensive cities if they struggle to make ends meet? Why not move?

if they know their not trying to make enough money to live comfortably why go through that?Why do people live in expensive cities if they struggle to make ends meet? Why not move?
The simplest answer is as follows. Most people who live in expensive cities were either born there or have firm roots there. To just up and to move would be perhaps socially and emotionally devastating. Some do it because they want the culture and the struggles that come with living in larger cities. Some do it for more shallow reasons like wanting to be something that they are not. Those people are pathetic because they end up borrowing, begging and stealing in order to keep up the illusion of living the good life in the city.
