I was mostly curious if it could work, I'm still curious if it can, and I hope it does. :)

I think we know the costs of living with others and we've either forgotten the benefit or never experienced them. It reminds me of @Undisciplined's great inequality summarizing my thoughts on the homeless problem:

Maybe this kind of thing needs an apparentness factor, as in marginal benefit should be apparent marginal benefit, because it seems like perceptions could play some part. Like, maybe our eyes are trained away from the benefits of coliving?
