What do you need to know to solve the problem or make the decision?

In order to find a place to live comfortably, you will need to consider what living conditions are important to you. Think about the basic living conditions listed below and read the question after each one:

  • Climate:  Is it hot or cold?
  • Shelter:  Can I find things to use to build a house?
  • Availability of Food:  What kind of food is there?
