One thing to remember is adult development. People change with age. Millennials 
have many of the same characteristics of other generations at the same age. 
They have been singled out as a unique generation because millennium changes 
have superstitious/spiritual/numerology implications. Each generation has a 
name. 

As we have discussed before, if we want to have 20-somethings living in 
cohousing, we need to have rental units. And/or shared living arrangements 
where young singles can have a private room and bathroom and share other 
facilities.
