As has been pointed out by others, no place is perfect for everybody so, I stand behind my original advice. Do your homework. Get the facts, then decide. Just to get you started...

OHab,
Hey, only one poster thought your post was ridiculous. Your point is valid

. The rest of us have probably lived here for more than 6 months and can deal with the mempho problems. The no harm no foul is for line holders only though (I think??) . And unfortuately the murders for MEM in 2006-- 160 plus, but MSY and HOU doubled that

. Nice that Biage has a forum like this. BTW where is Biage?
Cheers
