Sure, but if you're not having to pay rent, why fly at all? Why not stay put and save that money?

Because there are no jobs where they're not paying rent, so they can't afford to live there either.

Maybe the quality of life is better elsewhere. Maybe the differences in daily costs of living are enough to offset the flights. The article mentions Albania, where the nominal/PPP GDP figures suggest that prices are almost 3x lower than in the US.
