There is a thread on this in the archives so I haven't responded but 

line caught my interest and meshes with earlier recommendations. The 

twenty-somethings I know do not want to rent a room in someone's house 

-- they want to be both independent and to be with others their age. So 

the dorm idea works best.

A few independent rooms with private baths and a shared kitchen and 

living room on the second floor of the commonhouse would probably make 

them happier. When residents children outgrow their parent's homes, 

they could move over to the dorm. The rentals on these units would help 

pay for the commonhouse as well.

This is a real need for kids who do not got to college. They have 

nowhere to live at 18.
