I did some tech work for the Amish (seriously) where I used to live, and their model of a community coming together and building a house or barn or whatever seemed to work well for them. I agree that the work I've had to do to make my home my own has been a significant challenge once children appeared, and that many people simple wouldn't have have the bandwidth in one way or another. However, I do wonder if that's a consequence of a lifestyle choice and if there aren't better ways to approach these problems.
