It appears to me that cohousing in large urban areas has a more difficult time being cheaper. The "realities" of land and construction costs are more rigid there. I'm heartened by the experience of CoHo in Corvallis, Oregon where concerted sharing has saved cohousers money. I agree with Sharon, living in such close proximity makes sharing much easier. I will add that sharing in the design, development, and labor of construction can also help lower the cost-- but cohousers must have some room for that work in their lives, or they will not be able to take advantage of such savings. Are urban cohousers unable to save much money in their communities simply because they are more committed to other activities? (This is a sincere, not a rhetorical question.)
