Yes, it would include multiple states and personal as well.Now that I have some clarification i understand that my thinking was too outdated and having paid a certain price for so long has skewed my perception on the matter.

My suggesting is go wide, before you go deep.I was not a fan when I had to move to Milwaukee 15 years ago, but I am now: the city has been re-inventing itself over the last decade and is not anymore the slow rust belt city it has been in the 80s, however that is still the countries perception and will take a while - I talk about this on my YouTube channel a lot.
