> Even if you did not want to renounce your citizenship, you would still need a residence visa, which is impossible to get unless you can show you have money and will get a job in the new country!
If you don't have enough money to do that, you don't have enough money to move to a new state. Congrats, that's the problem that most people have, and would be stuck with under abusive states.
> If you are homeless, you can get enough money for a bus ticket by standing on the side of the off-ramp for a single day
You've clearly never been homeless. Take it from someone who HAS, that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
> not to mention the option of hitchhiking!
Illegal. Also, this requires absolutely no personal belongings.
> I've spoken to people that have done it!
You've spoken to liars, or you just made this shit up.

My cousin was homeless and out of work. He hitchhiked (yes illegal, but what isn't?) from Kansas to Seattle to relocate. He stayed with some friends till he got a job and back on his feet. Now he lives there and is a pretty successful car salesman. He at least had the option to leave for a place that suited him more. You think it would have been just as easy for him to get a visa to Germany, Netherlands, etc, then learn a new language? As a democratic republic, we have a unique situation in the world. We have the freedom to be US citizens, yet relocate to different areas that suit us best. Is it always practical? No. The option is there though.
On the same token, my friend who is not homeless and has many possessions has chosen to move to LA. It's only costing him $100 for the moving van to take his stuff from here in Phoenix to his new place in LA. No visas, no paperwork, no flights, just a couple hundred bucks and some friends helping him load the truck. Please tell me how that is just as hard as relocating countries.
