Greetings, I am new to this list and am part of a newly forming Rochester NY Cohousing group looking into developing on an urban infill site (among other possibilities for urban cohousing). I have two questions: First, can someone tell me whether the purchase of land is ultimately rolled into the unit cost, or is that a separate upfront cost that is never reflected in the mortgages residents take out for their units. I've read the usual books and websites and can't quite tell how that works (or maybe the books are clear on this but I am hoping that it is eventually rolled into the mortgage and am looking for an answer I like ;). Second, I am wondering why there are so few cohousing groups in NY state and wonder if there are regulatory issues in NY that make it more difficult. NY has a rep for having old and often oppressive regulation on a number of things, so I'm wondering if that is a factor. I'm aware of EcoVillage in Ithaca, but on the Cohousing Members list there are only three other groups listed (and NY is a big state). Our city has a history of being home to lots of progressive groups and yet as far as I am aware there was only one cohousing group and it fizzled out a while ago. Thoughts? Thanks all.
