Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Low-cost Cohousing

 > what group of potential cohousers will take advantage of this?

There are plenty of "homeless" people who already are able to afford a
tiny amount of home in the form of tent cities. But it's illegal for
them to rent porta-potties, or build a shared toilet/shower building
like a camping area. Illegal, not 'costs too much'. Soon there will
be more homeless, after people who have been banned from working for a
few months are evicted from their homes and cars by bankruptcy.

Cost is a Red Herring. It was never about cost, it was about legal
prohibitions. It only appeared like cost because cohousing
self-developers could hire architects and real estate lawyers and so
forth to press their case.
