Or maybe it's because forcibly moving people to the middle of nowhere isn't something most people would consider acceptable.

Who said anything about forcible?

People could be paid to move or otherwise offered lots of benefits and best quality of life opportunities to do so. And paying people to move would be much cheaper than the amount of money we spend now on the problem to overpay for stuff in expensive cities.

The actual reason why we don't do this easy solution, is because home prices arent the sole cause of homelessness.

Simply doing the voluntary, cheap, and easy solution of giving people the voluntary choice to live in a much higher quality home in a low cost of living area simply wouldn't solve the issue.
