Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Laundry in common house

[Rob Sandelin (floriferous]

The scale of your community has a lot to do with whether a laundry will
work. Tight, close buildings make it reasonable to walk over to do the
laundry. If your site is larger and spread out, it is much less reasonable.
I seem to recall that the homes that were further than 200 feet from the
commonhouse were unlikely to use a central laundry. I just tried to find
that number somewhere but can't so maybe I am not remembering it right?
Anybody have any observations of laundry use with relationship to distance?
