Our current development process structure makes it more difficult for "middle way" housing forms, like co-op housing, to flourish. They are not a panacea but they do seem to help people get a little farther down the home-ownership path.
Perhaps one reason that they are growing more difficult to find and form is the increasing isolation of modern life -- most urban-dwellers have few to no social memberships other than their immediate family. Not many people go to church or belong to a veterans' association any more.
