Not necessarily advice, just referencing a great mind who has spoken and written often about the subject.   I was influenced by and hope others might be by his words.
Regarding new housing and new jobs with wages that support a family, every idea deserves consideration.  The tough thing is by which criteria decisions are made.  Nothing new, there.
What is somewhat new are the increasing examples of communities that became so expensive that children who grew up there couldn't afford to buy a home later in life.  
Should this be a decision criteria?
