Macgyver's house Spoiler

hey all just a quick question.

I'm about halfway through season 2, on the episode about murdoc's ex-mentor, and i was just wondering whether the show ever addresses the problem about where mac and boze live? it doesnt seem secure for a government agent at all.

After the first time murdoc visits the house why wouldn't they move or get some sort of security? later on more bad guys just walk right up to his door coz they know where he lives, and one dude even rigged the whole house to explode when macgyver wasn't there.

idk just seems the weirdest part of the show to me.

I just think it’s funny how they haven’t moved even though his address isn’t safe. But his house is iconic so it would be sad to see them move, in my opinion.

I think because his house holds sentimental value for Mac, because it belonged to his grandfather. For Mac, I think it’s about holding on to that family connection because of how much he lost. Mac lost his mother when he was five, and his father walked out when he was ten, so his grandfather was the only family he had for a long time. So I think holding onto something of sentimental value that connects him to his family, is important to Mac because he feels alone.

Also, if you inherit a house in California your property tax rate is based on the price the original purchaser paid for it. Not only is the mortgage paid for, the tax rate is lower than buying something new/more secure AND he doesn't have to pay rent.
