Every landlord is experiencing "crisis" differently. Some are hardly
affected by it, others are hard hit. So a blanket statement about renters
and landlords really is not appropriate.

And "the wind in your hair"? 
That may be fine if you are single and pick up can move easily, but for
those of us with families, moving is much more complicated and something we
do not take lightly. 

In the end it is all about balance. Your family, priorities, timeframe,
finances and of course this thing we call "the crisis".
