Is something stronger than your wish to get a regular job tying you to where you currently live?

I only started seriously looking for work again about a month ago. I'd like to stay in this area for a few reasons but I would relocate if necessary. I worked remotely from 2015 until a layoff in late 2023 and this was the first thing I came across after that. It was okay for awhile and actually pretty interesting at first but the hours aren't reliable and there doesn't seem to be much opportunity for getting promoted.

I just want to note that asking this question implies an openness to one’s personal affairs that may not be appropriate in an anonymous, public setting. A person offering context and insight to a topic is not necessarily an invitation to an for more personal contexts and insights.

I understand it's personal, but I also recognize they went out of their way to bring it up. Some people, including me, are more willing to discuss things anonymously because it adds a layer of impersonality. This is just a discussion board. If OP doesn't answer, that's ok. I don't ever think I'm entitled a response.

It is a reasonable question that also emphasizes the composite cost of decisions.

Personally I would love to live in a more rural place, but until I am self sufficient enough, this is not an opportunity I am willing to take.

This is like shouting "I am upset" on Twitter and getting more upset at people asking why.

If you don't want people to ask, don't mention it.

Is it that bad? The person can not answer or keep it vague with "I have family here" or "I was raised here". They were the ones who decided to mention their state.
