When I went to work for the city of Detroit in 1961, I had to take a civil service examination which was a pretty good combo of a mini-SAT and a prep for professional engineer exam. I must have done pretty good, because they called me that afternoon and said I had a job if I had a Detroit address. My mother gave me the address of the lady who lived across the street from us on Nottingham where we lived from 1941 to 1954. As soon as I gave them the address, they hired me as a Civil Engineer [[I had graduated from college two days before). Then I started looking for a place to live in Detroit as I was getting married. I found a place a block off Schoenherr between seven and eight mile. All the time I worked for the city, the rule was you had to live in the city to work for the city.
