Most of our members are renters living in apartments, actually!
We love living in neighborhoods where you can walk to the grocery store, cafe, post office, and library. Our aim is to open up these great areas for more neighbors.

In the Opticos Healdsburg example above, 8 cottages were placed on a 1.37 acre lot (nearly 60,000 sq ft), ten times the size of a typical Seattle lot. We just don't have many lots of that size here.
