Lyle, the survey is too long for me to fill out but we have two of each 
(large Kenmore front loaders) and it is sufficient. Most of us have 
machines at home as well and use the room for overloads. 43 households. 
I don't know how many households use it but far less than 43 and it is 
often in use. I would say they do not encourage community -- people 
stuff and run mostly. At times it discourages community because people 
leave their stuff all over the room. But like ALL the CH resources, 
they are very important to those who use them. Very few people use the 
hot tub either but it is very important to them. Mostly it saves space 
in units -- both large and small because the machines are large.
