yup, I always tell my buddies I'd have a much larger place but I wouldn't want to vacuum that much carpet

that was my Father's line about Cadillacs and big cars - took too much water the wash them

I would not do a condo anywhere. HOA's are getting out of control.
HOAs can be a serious issue, no doubt.  One problem is a new condo starts out with the developer paying into the reserve fund, and they tend to short it obviously.  As theh condos sell and owners take over, they discover 4-5-6 years down the road they don't have enough in reserves and the monthly payment goes sjyward.

Our previous HOA board spent a lot of money on aesthetics, basically, and were voted out, and the new board is now spending a lot of money on infrastructure, which is probably needed in a 33 year old building.  I mostly ignore them, my wife is intensely interested.

She doesn't really get my lack of interest.  I personally like condo life, I lived in a condo we bought once I got away from apartment living.  It worked out OK.
