But with a whimper

[greenstorm]

The saga that began with me potentially moving to the northish part of the Island, middled with poor financial communication and planning, and ended with me not buying in/joining in the move but with my friends buying and moving into a property, now finally ends with that property being up for sale. I haven't been in contact with them much since the move - just had one conversation, really, where they mentioned they were really stressed and probably not able to keep the house. They haven't reached out since and I haven't either (I think I expect to be a target when something goes wrong, regardless of whether that's these people's way of operating or not, so I tend to want to hide till it blows over. Early conditioning).

I'm sad. It had become clear that it wasn't going to be a good financial match -- I needed a lot more planning and certainty -- but I had hoped they'd somehow find a way to keep the place and be happy there. Granted, it was a huge space and hopefully they can end up somewhere more comfortable. Like I said I haven't talked to them.

oof. on the one hand it very much verifies your decision to not stay involved with that project, and on the other hand, that's a really unfortunate outcome for them. i'm sorry they can't keep the place; it looked potentially amazing and the land is beautiful.
