Мне очень нравится идея коммунального жилья. Жить не одному легче по многим причинам, от экономических до социальных. Но черта с два создкшь такую коммуну, это очень трудно.
It is also difficult to create a new co-housing community. It's hard to find land, the financial risks are big, and banks are hesitant to lend money. "We're in a system that has certain assumptions about what a good life is, and a good home. And communal living doesn't fit into those assumptions", Clark says. "In society we have this mindset that privacy is good, and that owning things is good." Sharing your living space, she says, is not aspirational. "The idea of a good home is a big house that you own by yourself."
