elizabeth - how about with regards to the hoa dues assessment. you have quite a 
disparity in housing sizes.
if you assess on a fair distribution basis, the larger homes would have way 
higher dues than the smaller homes.
is there push-back from larger homes who have high dues or issues from smaller 
unit owners about subsidizing the larger home owners?thxalan o.

Our houses vary from 750sf to 2100sf, from 1BR to 4BR, about 1/4 are
affordable homes.

The divisions that *I* am aware of in our community are:
-People with young kids, people without young kids
-North Kingdom, South Kingdom (not actually conflict, we just don't
*see* each other)
-Maybe people who mostly come to meals and people who don't often?
-We may still have some conflict between folk who paid full price and
people who bought the homes after the prices were discounted. (This
maps with early move-in versus late move-in--over two years, so maybe
money wasn't the issue?)
-We may still have some conflict between guarantors of the
construction loan and folk who didn't guarantee the loan (although in
the end the non-guarantors helped make that all work out ok.)

So, the answer is that we've had some conflict around money but it
isn't matched with either unit *size* nor with *affordable versus
market rate*.

It's possible other folks at Mosaic see different conflict than I do, of course.
