Are they grammatically right?

1. ..., prospects that can make the parents think twice about moving in.

Is it possible that a demonstrative adjective 'that' comes after the noun?

2. ... pays half the roughly $163 ...

half the roughly $163 or half of the roughly $163 : Which is correct?

3. 30,000 or so people crowded the booths exploring openings for work most had never expected they would need.

Is this sentence correct?

Thanks a lot! Emotion: smile

You have taken this out of context. It looks to me like that is a relative pronoun, not a demonstative adjective. Had you given the whole sentence, that might have been more
