Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Affordable cohousing

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

Also, I would like to see more studio apartments, perhaps in 
conjunction with the commonhouse, or even 'single room occupancy' in 
connection with the commonhouse. Many people do not want or need large 
homes -- even the size of one bedroom apartments. They need a "pied a 
terre". In DC we have lots of people who are in town 4 days a week or 
only for 2 years who could benefit from and contribute to community 
living. As rentals these would also bring income to the community, 
making it more affordable.

And as we have discussed before, this would allow the age group of 
18-28 greater access to community living.
