There's also the logistical challenge of getting a community to agree to put up the money to buy the place, which to me seems very unlikely to happen unless the buyer is truly and obviously a bad fit--obvious enough to achieve consensus among the folks that will end up having to pay to buy the house.
If there's a rental or two or more in a typical (whatever that is) cohousing project, are they usually owned by the community or are they extra units a member had built in anticipation of renting? Or something else. If it is the latter, isn't this another example of getting a renter who isn't necessarily tied to the mission and goals of the community?
If owned by the community, how to fair housing laws affect the selection of someone to rent a unit? For that matter, what if a member of the community decides to move out and turn her/his unit into a rental?
