Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: [common house accessibility

[dahako (dahako]

 Hi-

In Mississippi, where the required flood elevations have changed from a couple 
of feet to 10 feet or more since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, many folks have 
been struggling 
with accessibility.? (The new elevations mean that all new or reconstructed 
housing has to be elevated at least that far.)? One of the options has been to 
look at building a long common ramp that serves multiple structures and can 
also serve as elevated common porch space.? I think someone told me the idea 
came from Australia?

Just a thought.
