Finding the information to help you do figure out your options is a pain.
I’m in the process of collecting information on what are the best places to live, use available data to measure them, and, whatever else you may need to get to where you want to go.
As I have a weird obsession with data and I hate for people to have to redo work, I’ve been sharing what I’ve learned.
If it helps, I hope you share this information with others.
If I’ve made errors (I wouldn’t be surprised)… I hope you’ll correct me so I can update this.
… and if you have some information that you’d like to share, please let me know.
We are all in this together.
