"If these places are such hellholes with no jobs, whats to stop the residents from saving up a few bucks for a bus ticket to a place with a job or two?"
A couple grand in moving expenses by the time you figure in rental and utility deposits? That, and places with a job or two are in pretty short supply - unless you're talking about picking up and moving to Asia.

When I moved to California for work a few decades ago, I stayed on an old friend's couch for a month until I settled in.
If you go to an area where there are college students, you can always find a furnished room in a house fairly cheap. Particularly if you show up in June, when the graduating class is moving out, and leaving behind old furniture and stuff.

I'm not feeling sorry for someone who is given a free education with multiple opportunities for vocational training, apprenticeships and/or internships. There are jobs out there for people who aren't afraid to start at the bottom and work their way up. And it doesn't require a drastic move to start out in one of these entry-level jobs and earn the money to finally escape the gubmint plantation. They don't even need to give up much in government hand-outs at first.
This culture of government dependence has got to be destroyed, and these slaves must be set free to provide for themselves.
