The sad thing is that unless you own your own place, you can be forced to move often. When I lived in Eugene I had to move five times in seven years because landlords don't give a fuck. They jack the rent, sell the property out from under you, decide they will evict you and rent to their relatives--I had it all happen to me. I learned to not accumulate things I could not lift and move myself. They don't care if you are a good tenant at all.
