I think it drifted into why one would want private time and, if they did, why 
would they choose to live ini cohousing?

There was a thread years ago about families moving out because the parents 
wanted more control over their children. The children wanted to play with the 
other children to much. They wanted the tradition of family dinners. That kind 
of thing is hard for children when it isn’t a community norm.
