Hi there,
Shared *use* is the key thing. There was (maybe still is?) a retrofit cohousing community in Rochester called "Community Now." One of the founding families bought a two-family house, lived in one half, and rented out the other half to the cohousing group. They had a small community dining room and children's play room. They might still be around, I don't know.

In the view of the cohousing movement, is a "common" facility
identified as such because it has shared *ownership*, or shared *use*?
Is collective ownership of property so central to cohousing that a
group isn't cohousing without it?
