Why buy a house Zac?  Why not live in community and rent?  It is 
possible in many places, including cohousing. And the rents are 
cheaper, community dinner is great, and there are lots of interesting 
people to teach how to play volleyball. I was interested to find out 
that out of 8 units being considered in Sharingwoods second phase, 
there are 5 rental spaces.  Of course this is very preliminary still 
but I know people are renting at Nyland, Winslow?, N street and 
elsewhere.  You don't HAVE to be a homeowner to live in community or cohousing.
