What a stupid post. Not Ohabs', but yours! He wasn't recommending that anyone move to New England, nor was he suggesting that Biage not move to Memphis. He was only stating what everyone there knows, but doesn't talk about, and that is that Memphis is a tough city. His suggestion of learning about the area before uprooting ones family is a valid one. Anyone who moves to Memphis, or any other new city, for that matter, should do their (and their spouse's) homework, so as to be aware of how the city and surrounding towns work. Memphis is about the 10th largest city in the U.S. and has the 13th highest murder crime rate. So they are "better" than par. It's not all that. It's all the other stuff that goes along with it.

Personally, I love where I live and have never thought that the commute was that big a deal. I do however realize that by not living in domicile, I have not maximized my earning potential, but that too is ok with us. My wifes' family and friends are all here and as the old saying goes: "if mama's happy, then everyone's happy" is true. I didn't want to uproot my family and move to a place where they would know no one. And then be gone half the month flying.

As far as everyone moving to New England, you're all welcome. Everyone except you that is.
