There are no high rise apartments in this area that I know of so that's not 
a problem. I'm looking to go 1 town over from where I am now. I can't afford 
to go much further but the ham radio club I'm most active is over there, and 
there's really nothing at all that says I should stay in this city. I'm 
looking to move once, and stay there until I start a family or really until 
I have a good reason to move but I remember moving in to this house and if I 
can avoid that much work often, I'll be fine. Luckily I'm not taking much 
from here so the first one won't be too bad. I'll probably sell/give away a 
lot of stuff anyway.
