[Stranger Things] Why don't ALL the people of Hawkins just leave the city if they see all this weird stuff happening? Or why doesn't some agency try to evacuate the city?

The same reason people don't leave Detroit, or Beirute, or any other real-world hellhole.

- Leaving a place costs money that a lot of people don't have
- People fall victim to inertia or fear; it could always be worse somewhere else
- The belief that "it won't happen to me" is very strong

And when you're dealing with an otherworldly entity that kills like three or four people a year, even in a town of like 30,000, "it won't happen to me" is honestly fairly accurate.
