Is it ethical to create resumes that show I live in different parts of the country?

I'm getting no response locally or nationally, but there are a lot more jobs nationally than there are locally, so I am thinking that perhaps if I appeared to be local, I might get some responses.

I do have addresses of family that I can use in these other places, but I am concerned that it might not be ethical to do so.

Btw, thanks for all the help on Strunk & White. That prospect (not a local one) is suddenly not hiring, but I might do some small jobs for them.

Thanks for any thoughts on this. My first thought was, "Hey, that would do it." But my second thought was, "That's lying, so you can't."

I don't know. Yes, it's "lying". But is it one of those lies that can be morally justified?
