that was very helpful, Sharon, and mirrors some of my own concerns and
desires. When I wrote earlier in the month I mentioned the Quakers meeting
house on Beacon Hill, Boston. Their's is an intentional community, but one
make up of renters who reside for one or two year stays, and is primarily
composed of younger people. I'm an older person and would like a community
similar to what you describe. I was about to add my descriptions to the one
you wrote and I realized I want to live in a dorm style situation. I love
cooking, but I sure as heck have a whole lotta other things I want to do
other than cook for myself all the time. So I guess what I'm trying to
figure out is if there can be a way to create apartment/studio living in or
on the transit lines leading into the city and have an intentional community
foundation to it.

Many people do not want or need large homes -- even the size of one bedroom apartments. They need a "pied a terre". In DC we have lots of people who are in town 4 days a week or only for 2 years who could benefit from and contribute to community living. As rentals these would also bring income to the community, making it more affordable. And as we have discussed before, this would allow the age group of 18-28 greater access to community living.
