I still say moving from a house to a condo is a HUGE CHANGE in your life. Your yard is a nice buffer instead of sharing walls, ceiling or floors. Could hear their arguments, TV too loud etc. Also, moving to a new location, need to find new doctors, dentists, mechanics, barbers and the rest.
The latest issue in condo living, for those who haven’t been keeping up (i.e., don’t live in condos), is that in various States of the Union, the neighbor’s cannabis smoke is annoying and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I tried a townhouse when I was in my twenties, even had a little backyard for a garden, but I never really owned it, had to pay HOA fees for life, no thank you, now I have 16 Acres in the middle of a National Forest and I even own the mineral rights, I am a property owner, something someone who pays an HOA can never be.
Fifty plus years here. Every 10 or so years the house gets refreshed: paint, curtains and maybe a new recliner for “the man of the house.” It’s better than moving … especially to a condo.

Semantics. Gus is not meddling if Arlo asks him to meddle.

Arlo is going to get the chance to test Gus’ meddle.

Plus don’t get me started on HOAs…

Everyone needs an “Ole Gus” in their life!

Seems like Arlo would ask Gus HOW he could assist. That would be my question.

He may just wear Arlo down with his nonmeddling.

Gus really wants to help. If Arlo asks him then he can say that it was not meddling.

Is Gus alluding to giving/selling the condo to them, or maybe even financial assistance? Either way, he’s a great guy.

Why are they wanting to move to the coastal area, with climate change causing ever more severe hurricanes?

Living near your children and grandchildren is a pretty strong incentive. The other stuff will work out if you want it to.

Gus is so wise. His daughter is a master meddler.
