There's a cohousing development in Belfast Maine that seems pretty successful. It sounds like a good solution to a variety of problems. Having one in a city has advantages, such as being able to walk to stores and cultural events, and being close to public transportation. But land is so expensive in cities that such developments might just be too expensive.

I live in rural Maine. Land is cheap and building is relatively free of regulation. But big lot size requirements are an impediment to developing multifamily housing.

And toss in all of the govt regulations and boards and commissions that would slow down the process tremendously as well. Years upon years in any big city that already has density to it.
