    the link won’t open for me so I can’t see the context, but based on my (limited) knowledge you don’t have to stay in one place your whole life. I’m pretty sure you can just… move if you want to, I don’t think there’s anything in the way of that other than the hassle or expenses. For example my cousin’s family moved from a more rural region to one that’s still pretty rural, but only about half an hour or 15 minutes’ worth of walking distance from a relatively small urban center.

      Yeah, the link doesn’t mention HOW but he does mention that it’s possible to change your registered location. I assume that there’s a process (maybe prove you have the ability to work and afford the new place or something)?

        In my free western country, there’s a process, too. You have to prove all that to, and beg for accommodation from, a private landlord, over whom there is remarkably little oversight and who has the power to decide whether and when I’m no longer welcome in any given city, town, etc.

          Don’t forget that there’s always the possibility that even if you manage to get that permission, they have multiple ways to revoke it afterwards, too.
