The challenges of raising children are, for me, a primary reason that cohousing is appealing, and I believe that Katy and Chuck cite this as a central motivation behind cohousing in Denmark in their writing. I'm thinking about this a good deal as I work to recruit for a new community near where I live, so I thought I'd share a meta-point, which is that I think a community that wants families has to have "affirmative action" for them, by which I mean it should try to over-represent them. It's a numbers thing. If there's a critical mass of adults required to ensure everyone has a few people in the community they can count as friends, this is also true for children, except that children have narrower requirements for age compatibility. If a community of 40 adults has 10 minors between 0 and 18 (which is what a representative sample of the general population would have) that could give each of those kids very few choices in age-compatible playmates.
