Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Affordable housing - rentals

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

Sharingwood is kind of rural and we have 95 residents,(Until the end of the
month) of which 34 are non-owners. Which at 35% skews the curve, but I sense
we are not typical.

Hmm, so it looks like you have 8 renters out of 62 total residents (includes
everyone) at Jackson Place.  That's about 13%.
Here at Takoma Village we have about 9 renters (renting either rooms or
whole
units) out of about 70 residents*  also about 13%.  So that's quite a bit
above
5%. We have 43 units.  I wonder if our communities are average, or if we are
anomalies.

Takoma Village and Jackson Place are both urban cohousing communities.
Certainly, here in Seattle, a lot of people want to combine living in an
intentional community with living in the heart of the city. The main
obstacle is cost. I am not sure, but that might explain why we have so many
renter residents in proportion to owners and their families. We could
probably have more renters if we had the space for them to rent.
