Kat,
Smaller towns also have their problems, usually related to supply. In
Wyoming, the largest "city" is just over 50,000 people, and there is never
enough accessible housing anywhere in the state. When I moved to Laramie
(Pop. 27500, or thereabouts) I wasn't able to find accessible housing, but I
was able to find a place that was nearly accessible and a landlord willing
to make the necessary modifications. After Janet and I got married and
needed a bigger place, it took nearly 4 months for the landlord there to
complete the accessibility modifications we needed. A partially completed
ramp is _not_ fun!

Kendall
An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
