My godson delayed getting a car because public transportation was a better option where he lived.

I think the biggest hurdle  in transporting the houses are the permits required and that the transportation has to occur during certain hours late evening early morning only.

If this is a one time shot then fly your friend in but remember housing him costs, transportation daily to work, food costs, airfare etc.

I dont like the following::Busy street, lots of steps, next to commercial or industrial, houses on either side are in very poor condition, very high taxes, certain construction styles and materials, on street parking, being far from transportation or main highways.These ideas above are just a few but the main ones.

The location is on a block with majority single family homes and close to transportation.  

You're also going to need an extremely skilled transporter.
