Grammar in this text

Dative preposition 'in' with location

in einer anderen Stadt

The preposition 'in' takes the dative case when indicating a location (where something is). 'einer' is the dative feminine form of the indefinite article.

Subordinate clause with 'darum'

Darum können Menschen in meinem Haus wohnen.

'Darum' is a conjunction meaning 'therefore'. It introduces a main clause with verb-second position, but here it is used as a sentence adverb at the beginning, so the verb follows immediately.
