Anyone have any observations on "mini cohousing" , that is
cohousing that is constrained to small numbers of households
( 8 or fewer households? ) typically by site considerations? 

It is my impression that there are many times more people who would like
to live in cohousing than have so far and probably ever will manage to
actually do so.  It seems possible that the number of opportunities for
mini cohousing and other cohousing like situations are such that it is
possible that someday more people could live in these than in more
conventional cohousing.

I presume that the dynamics of a community are affected by the number of
people in the community.  I have long thought that an ideal number is
30 households tho I dont have enough experience to really judge.  I have
also come to the opinion that number of people not just households
is probably as significant since household size varies considerably.

There are undoubtedly some people who prefer small numbers.
