I'm glad you brought this up as it interests me too.  I've joined the other 
mailing list you mentioned.

As I'm getting older I see no reason to have excess space to care for, or 
the expense of it , or even the need for so much space to have "stuff".

Yes, that's why I started looking into co-housing.
