We certainly had some of that quesy-ness but it turned out to be completely 
unfounded. Ever person interested in our affordable homes has been looking for 
a way to live in cohousing....

We are not on public transportation, I don't know if that would be different. 
But we are only attracting people who want cohousing.

Some of that is small home size.
