Thanks, but that isn't at all what I am talking about. I am talking about a research service, not a moving service.
If you have ever participated on Metafilter's AskMe, it is fairly common for people to post a question along the lines of "I have this list of criteria for where I want to live. What cities match it?"
Of course, AskMe is a free service. Answers are provided by bored people hanging out online who like answering questions. It is incredibly common for people to answer such questions with "Oh, you should move to (city I live in currently or have lived in)."
But I have a certificate in GIS and I am a former military wife. I have done a lot of moving and I am good at this kind of research based on actual objective data and stated criteria.
I use sites like City Data and Best Places to do some of my research and I know of sites that will let you fill out a form and get a list of cities spit back at you, such as this (which may be dead): http://www.findyourspot.com http://www.findyourspot.com
But I do not know of any service that will do custom research for you and give you, say, three cities that fit your criteria as closely as possible.
I enjoy doing this kind of research. I would like to create a paid service to do this.
