--------------CDF994D4A43F79015C5391DE The discussion on the merits of guest rooms in common houses reminded me of a paradoxical finding by Meltzer related to the topic. Have a look, by clicking on www.aiid.bee.qut.edu.au/~meltzer go to articles, choose the middle one "Cohousing and Sustainability" then scroll down to the chapter on "the social". Unlike McCamant & Durrett's findings in Denmark, it seems that the larger common houses do not necessarily achieve better outcomes in terms of the social targets sought with cohousing. Here in Melbourne the cost of land may well be a deterrant for the development of cohousing. Hence I have a particular interest in finding the optimal distribution of land. Feedback anyone?
