Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Reducing parking spaces

[R Philip Dowds (rpdowds]

Depends on the customer.  If one is an artist with no car, a unit with an arts 
and crafts room is more valuable than a unit with a parking space.  But in 
general, you're correct:  Unit amenities are usually configured toward the 
middle of the bell-shaped curve of demand, and unusual features -- like an arts 
and crafts room instead of a parking space -- mean one is trying to sell to an 
atypical and perhaps ill-funded market segment.
