I've visited Oklahoma a few times, while living in Texas, and I currently live in New Jersey.

If I didn't have a family to support, I would confidently state that I would prefer to be homeless here than live in Tulsa.

And in general, I'm surprised that $10k significantly moves the needle for anyone. $10,000 is not that much money for a move - unless you have very few personal effects, moving house can easily cost ten thousand dollars, when you factor in a vehicle or moving service, the cost of disposing of and/or acquiring new things, things like fees for moving into a new place, etc.
