Thank you. To answer Ericka's question, it's a metropolitan city in
the midwest (USA)
I guess the issue is to find an affordable home/apartment with a good
school district which is near by the place of work. I'm curious where
people actually start in this process. It must be hard for people who
must move often due to work, etc.
