Affordable cohousing IS the future. This discussion can bring us there. I
have been organizing in Baltimore for the past year. I've phoned many of
the biggies in the cohousing 'industry' that is emerging. Architects,
Programmers, Quasi-Developers and others. EVERYBODY says it can't be done
for less than, as it turns out, half a million a family. End of
conversation.

Okay, so do the math, figure out the mortgage, the monthly payments, the
percentage of annual income that constitutes...

Is this a small, niche online group for the haves and their helpful
service industry or is this a way to innovate towards something more
meaningful for a bit wider populace?
