To start with, what city/airport would you be commuting from, if you stay where you currently live. Everyone will tell you, if you want to maximize your family "at home" time, live where you are based. Some cities it would be difficult to commute from (like most of Florida to Chicago) other cities not as difficult.....like Shreveport, LA to Houston....also, Texas has no State Income Tax & CHEAP GAS, I paid 1.88/gal yesterday at the Sam's Club off I-45 in The Woodlands
