           Affordable housing should be an option everywhere, not just
   on the Redneck Riviera.  Its a problem that requires complex, not simple
   solutions.

   [...]

   If they want to make a real estate killing they shouldn't be in cohousing
   in the first place.  

IMHO, cohousing is enough of a social agenda all by itself. The early
communities have enough obstacles in their way. Controls on resale give
bankers fits, and, like it or not, you need bankers.
