Pinakarri Community is a mix of privately owned (equity) and publicly
funded rental (non-equity) houses; the only one that we know of in
Australia.  The management of the rental houses is by all residents, ie,
equity and non-equity - this seems to be unusual.  All community members
have a say about the equity houses too.
