Very interesting idea, and appealing for young adults- couples or singles, I can see that :o) However, once you've had a couple of kids, you'd need to negotiate your parenting ideas not with just your partner but a few other adults- really not sure how this might work..?
Also, what about passion and romance, faithfulness/temptations? Sharing the space intimately with other adults, might it not lead to "complications"?
What if your parents want to come and stay? They would need to get on with everyone in the commune, not just your other half...
This makes Total sense. A way of life that started for us a long time ago - the one we live now, is isolating and unhealthy - suburbia especially - Many Blessings and many DANCES by the moonlight 🌝
This is fascinating. I agree with you saying that the nuclear family may not be the best way for all, yet living with friends has a time and a place and is not adulthood (for the majority). Recently, personal aspect of people lives such as mental health and gender identity became more and more shared and talked about, revealing perfect alternatives to 'the expected lifestyle'. I wonder if communal living will become part of the dialogue in the future. I know you're doing your part and it is very compelling indeed!

Food for thought :o)
