At Monterey Cohousing (in Minneapolis, Minnesota), we have attached garages for the new construction. Many of the folks in the old building would like to have garage space and some do rent unused garage spaces in the new construction. We were unable to identify any spot on our property to put a parking lot that did not involve the destruction of fine old trees (we have a very restricted site). In addition, members with small children were adamite that they would not haul 2 or 3 small children and six sacks of groceries through below zero weather 100 to 200 feet. I agree with Roman Bitner that most of our incidental social interactions take place while walking dogs, taking out the trash, getting mail, puttering with the landscaping, or watching children. These seem to be occasions when people are interested in socializing. On the other hand, the driveway is not completely on the edge of our property and some folks mistake it for a public street. It's not as safe as we had hoped. It seems to me that in site design, one shouldn't be too rigid with the social engineering. ********************************************************************** Michael Malone Cancer Control Section Minnesota Department of Health Internet address: michael.malone [at] health.state.mn.us Phone: (612)623-5670 Fax: (612)623-5520 **********************************************************************
