When I was an obnoxious teen, I said something similar to a family member, to the effect of, "I hate this little town and its do-nothing losers and d-bags."<br />
<br />
He said, "The problem is, they'll magically appear wherever you go because you're projecting your zero self-worth onto others." In my case, he was right. I wasn't doing enough to be the person people wanted as a friend, other than slackers and users.<br />
<br />
That may not apply to you, but the point being: yeah you should probably move for the opportunity and get away from vampires, as long as you help others before deeming them worthy of helping you up.

I lived in a pretty toxic environment myself. I had to move to a completely different state half way across the country in search of a more positive surrounding. Even after I had family and friends telling me for years how stupid and crazy it was to move out to a different state on my own. This type of mindset of trying to set me up for failure before I even tried it has got to go, so I did it, I moved. If you want it that bad then you'll find a way, but not if you keep being pessimistic.<br />
<br />
Like TeveTorbes said though, you can't run from your problems. I ended up being friends with the same kind of toxic people. In the back of my mind I had always wanted to strive for greatness. Partying every weekend just wasn't for me. It wasn't until I cut those type of people loose, picked up some books, hit the gym, watched speeches by successful people instead of watching TV series, started taking a few risks to force myself out of my comfort zone. That's when I started noticing the winners and that's when the winners started noticing me. There are 2 guys that I still talk to since I moved. I consider them to be my brothers, we are always pushing each other to do better, we're competitive with one another, we share vital information with each other and share our skills and talents with one another to help us move forward with our goals.<br />
<br />
See, you have to get up out of your comfort zone for any sort of thing to happen. I met these guys out of random chance(risk). By no means am I a billionaire and you don't have to take my word for anything. I only speak from the very small experience I have and want to share with you how I made my way out of a shit hole to greener pastures. If I never took the leap, I would have probably died in the slowlane and would never even be anywhere near this forum.<br />
