I think this is a wonderful, wonderful idea. This allows the age group of
20-30 access to cohousing also.

A developer in Manhattan once built a stack of apartments that were 12 feet
square -- truly. The land only allowed a building that size so he built them
as pied a terre apartments for commuters. They sold to full time residents.
