Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Elevators and exclusions

[Marganne (marganne]

I know I'm relatively new to this block, but how about this:

Make some kind of elevator or lift a priority and keep the project 
affordable by reducing expenses elsewhere.

What are the priorities of the project? I don't think affordability 
and an elevator are mutually exclusive.
