I don't know about falling markets but one reason i think cohousing  
has not formed in Florida is that housing there is very available and  
inexpensive. Too much competition for people to choose quality housing.

In Florida, dvelopers are a dime a dozen and they put up very  
attractive complexes. They are bad construction but people don't see  
that. They see lake, swimming pool, clubhouse. Beautiful stucco.
