 I figure that it would cost about $15 to do a roll of (24) slides.  
 If each community did about 4 copies of 6 different shots on a roll, 
 (or 3*8 or 2*12 - actually better IMO to do more copies of fewer pix)
 they could trade with other communities, for not very much cost.
 The unbuilt communities wouldn't have anything to trade, but the 
 cost again wouldn't be that much.  Maybe we could request a certain 
 variety of slides, some subset of:
 
        overall community layout - 
             (an architectural rendering or scale model?)
        pedestrian way / common areas
        common house exterior
        common house interior - dining/kitchen in use
        kids play area(s)
        gardens
        parking lot area
        a typical residence (interior/exterior)
        A group shot of the community members
        something unique about the community
        
 We would want to include pix that demonstrated existing problems, and/or
 solutions to them - such as noise abatement, storage, table and chair 
 types, stove/oven selections, communications systems, etc.

Agreed.  Perhaps there could be a designated resource person in each 
region that could have a copy of the slides, available for loan.
