Cottage Homes Foster Community In Small Spaces

An interesting twist on the McMansion vs Cottage debate in this video by the Wall Street Journal on cottage communities being built in Seattle.

The homes cost as much as their much larger counterparts in the city, but what the developers are trying to create is the sense of community.

Of course the cynic in me wonders if the high price of the homes is designed to create a Yuppie outpost for the crunchy granola set. They get to live in small houses and get big green points by their peers while not having to associate with rif-raf that neighborhoods with smaller houses would attract.
