With all these talk about going from homes to apartments, I wondered how many people think:


1. Going from a home to an apartment is moving "down" in life. (I am not speaking of after the kids grow up and you sell your home to OWN an apartment/condo/townhouse, but a family that owns a home and then sells it to rent an apt.)

3. How bad would it have to be living in your home to make the decision to do this?


4. What advantages and/or disadvantages are there to living in an apartment vs living in
