Cohousing-L Mailing List: How Regular Condos Are Thinking Like Cohousing

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

A post from my neighborhood email list by a city planner gives evidence of how 
regular condos are thinking like cohousing. Even dog washing and dog poop can 
become a cooperative housing amenity:

> in the course of my work I deal with multiunit residential buildings and 
> business improvement districts.  Multiunit buildings targeting younger 
> demographics are increasingly accommodating pets, including dogs.  A new 
> building in NoMA will even have a dog washing station (the building is open 
> but the station isn't fully operational yet).  But that room also will 
> provide bags for people to take with them for poop scooping.  Similarly, the 
> Senate Square apartments (300 block of H St.) have some of those dog poop bag 
> dispenser stands on the perimeter of their property.
