I’ve had contractors who didn’t want to do what I wanted because they said the unit would be unsaleable — like take out the tub and put in a shower, take out the walls and make a loft, etc. I have no oven in the kitchen (I’m maybe 100 feet from the brand new CH double ovens). And I know how to use a Dutch Oven. And realistic studies of showers vs baths show that showers are (can be) environmentally better: http://grist.org/living/baths-vs-showers-an-eco-smackdown/ My demographic is the fastest growing the whole United States — single older women who like living alone. They don’t think about that. There would be dozens who would want my unit in cohousing and I would only need one.
