I suspect that new neighborhoods wouldn't be for me, as they tend to have larger homes (more expensive) and CCRs (which would prohibit outside antennas). Older neighborhoods, on the other hand, tend to have smaller houses and are less likely to have those CCRs. I don't know where I'll be working in the years to come, but I think I can avoid long commutes if I live in a central location (Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Minneapolis). I wouldn't want to live in Burnsville and have to commute to Arden Hills or live in Maple Grove and have to commute to St. Paul. -- Jason Hsu, Linux user <jhsu802701 at jasonhsu.com>
