It's also true that households with children tend to come into cohousing projects at the very end, particularly when the core group had few households with children, when the project is small, and especially when it is urban. The problem is not that we need more small units. That just gets us more single adults. The problem is that new-construction cohousing is expensive, especially considering that young families (two-parent and single-parent) who are often not in a position to buy property at all, are just the folks who can most readily see the benefits of cohousing. We have at least one single person on our waiting list who could afford this larger unit, but it just doesn't seem fair to him that he occupy what is essentially a three bedroom place. The person who had to drop out after reserving that last unit took three of our project's (only) six children with her. So you can understand why we are glad that the one unit left is a large one. Also, we are about a year ahead of move-in, and we are sure to have all units sold well before then. Joani
