@cbssundaymorning: "This is a city where the American Dream is still possible”: Bob Ross is one of the leaders behind "Choose Topeka," a program offering people a relocation incentive of up to $15,000 to move to the Kansas capital. He says participants in the program have come from 37 states. Read more at the link in our bio. #topeka #kansas #americandream
I live in Overland Park about 45 minutes away and my job is fully remote and I wouldn't move to Topeka

The job would need to be there. Then the move is going to cost a lot more than $15K. Housing will require first and last month’s rent or closing. There is nothing affordable about moving. I just moved a 1,700 sq ft household across the country. The moving itself was $87K!!!

How they gonna compare LA and Topeka Kansas!? No shit it’s less expensive. That’s like saying a Hyundai Santa Fe is cheaper than a Range Rover.

I grew up in Kansas. Now live on the west coast. Even if I got a job paying $250k/yr I wouldn’t move back.

There is a key issue, that means in topeka your salary is lower for the same job. Housing might be cheaper but everything else ends up being way more effectively. When you only make 1k a month you can’t ever buy a 1k computer but when you make 10k a month even spending 6k on housing that 1k computer now is affordable.

My husband and I applied to this when we were moving to Topeka. They requested more information and then completely ghosted us. There is no way to contact them and they do not respond to emails. If we didn’t qualify, no problem. But they should at least respond to inquiries.
