# Nesting Models
## Objectives
Currently, we only have two unrelated models: people and locations. Let's add the functionality so that whenever we have JSON that represents a person, it will contain a `home` property, which is the associated `location` object:
```JSON
{
"id":4,
"name":"Bob",
"age":25,
"home": {
"id":2,
"street": "123 Fake Street",
"city": "Aurora",
"state": "NY"
}
}
```
Also, when we have a location, it will contain an array of people objects:
```JSON
{
"id":2,
"street": "123 Fake Street",
"city": "Aurora",
"state": "NY",
"inhabitants":[
{
"id":4,
"name":"Bob",
"age":25
},
{
"id":7,
"name":"Sally",
"age":74
},
]
}
```
This will be a one-to-many relationship
## Add home_id to people
First, go into `psql` and add a `home_id` INT column to the `people` table:
```sql
ALTER TABLE people ADD COLUMN home_id INT;
```
Now we can give people homes like so:
```sql
UPDATE people SET home_id = 2 WHERE id = 4;
```
The previous code will find the row with an `id` of 4 and set the `home_id` column to 2;
