Back to the point made by Oz, what do each of the parities to the process 
(architects, developers, potential owners) want and need.  My experience is 
that each has a different set of needs/wants. I see these in the differences 
between developments driven by developers vs. those driven by a cohesive group 
of buyer/owners.  

Some of these differences are obvious (vendors income, cash flow) and some are 
deep and not thought about and certainly not realized until after the event 
(think 17 year old with flaming hormones or many lottery big winners).  How do 
"we" value the opportunity of community (to be developed not given. i.e. work) 
vs. the instant pleasure of a hot tub or sauna?
