I don’t. That’s why all I said was that it seems possible that it (along with those other things) might be true of some people. Community is really important to many people. Finding a new community and getting well integrated into it can be difficult. That seems sufficient to make it likely that for some people staying part of an important community they’re in could be overwhelmingly important.
try substituting “on welfare”
I’m not sure what point you’re making, but for what it’s worth the people I know who are on welfare don’t appear to me to constitute a being-on-welfare community. Perhaps I know the wrong ones?
[EDITED to add:] Oh, wait, maybe you were making a less specific analogy and remarking that some people on welfare can be made worse off if, e.g., they get a job. True enough, but nothing about that seems terribly relevant to the present discussion.

Yes—or that they believe they’ll be made worse off. Not terribly relevant, true, that’s why it was a side remark.
