Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Storage space

[Kelly Bachman (happyvalleykelly]

I wish our community had built storage as you described. Some of our units
have an attic and some have covered parking where they have carved out a
little storage space in the back. But some have no storage. Even if you
can’t afford to build it right away, you could include it in the site plan
so that a place for it gets set aside to build it later. I think our
porches would not look so junky if everyone had ground level storage.
