Of course. But those things can be changed. They are inside your unit. Basement space can't. People have feelings that are not logical. They still feel deprived. It isn't enough to say the first people have advantages because they took the risk. 15 years down the line, no one sees that risk. It's invisible. My last post on this. I'm just advising new communities to think about this. And obviously it won't always work. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
