tvoivozhd---if you are going back to town--as I would have to do were it 
not for my daughter, and you are still moderately mobile, there are 
quite a few microlivestock and garden options, ranging from fishbarrels 
in the basement to yard-gardens to container-gardens and pigeon coops on 
the roof--for which purpose look for a flat-roof upstairs apartment.  
Stack containers at each end of roof-joists to take the load better.  
Pigeon coops on the roof are common all over the world---primarily 
because pigeons forage in streets and fieods, so you have to provide 
them very little food., and squabs are a good source of protein in your 
meals.  I favor quail because they lay a lot of easy-to-pickle eggs, and 
there are so many bartenders who will buy them or their customers'
