Grant’s direct answer
HomeBase should explain the real tradeoffs and remain neutral about the family decision. The advisor can compare cost, commute, management, neighborhood, social environment, apartment quality, and other practical differences so the disagreement is based on current information rather than assumptions. If a parent is paying and believes that gives them final authority while the graduate strongly prefers another choice, Grant does not want HomeBase acting as the referee. The service provides the facts and recommendations; the family decides who has the final word. This keeps HomeBase focused on housing expertise rather than family conflict.
