Marten's flat, though, seems to expand elastically to support whatever number of characters needs to reside there, given that not only have Claire and Bubbles both moved in since Marten and Faye got the flat, but Pintsize also became a Real Boy™ with no apparent space issues

@Todd Ellner: that's honestly a big reason why I bought a condo: it seemed like the thing to do. Looking back, that was a mistake, but owning real estate is a big part of the I'm An Adult Now Narrative

Whatever happened to Steve's drunk boat purchase?

Once Marigold saw the solid gold sex futon, she knew she couldn't go back to a life without one.

Note that Marigold too finds this to be a very walkable town.

One of the older cast. About as frequent as Sara these days.

Makes more sense then buying a boat.

She has fantasized about them all living in a mansion, with her as the reclusive mistress of the house communicating only through notes passed from her private wing.

I honestly didn't get the joke at first, because I have so little interest in owning real estate that "We need a house to look cool" just made no sense to me.
It reads as "Let's take on a full-time second job to, um, say we have a house!"

At least she can afford to buy a house. Then again, I’m sure they could also rent a house.

Just pull a scam where Marigold pretends Emily's parents' lake house is hers. Without actually telling Emily or her parents...

Eh… this tracks. Really is as good a reason as any. Especially if she can afford it. Although now she might have to play the “prove to people how you got this money” game… unless she just pays cash that is.
