What's Missing in Cohousing? Rentals.

Rentals are so necessary to housing the 18-30 year olds who are still on the
move and looking at life. We miss their energy when we don't have enough
rentals. Providing more space for this age group would build a faster feed
into cohousing than waiting another 20 years for cohousing children to build
new projects.

If I were to add anything to our project, it would be 2-3 large bedrooms
with private baths and good sized closets around a shared sitting room and
kitchen.

Using the commonhouse kitchen and living space might not be sufficient since
one doesn't want the people "living" in the commonhouse to have a different
relationship to the space or the community than other residents. Plus this
age group is looking for independence.
