I would actually love that. They're building something that's sort of in that vein where I live, where each family/individual has their own house of sorts, but there's a big communal building with a giant kitchen and dining space, library, living room, gardens, etc, instead of trying to pack all of that in each house. Everyone has to commit to contributing somehow, whether it's lawn maintenance or helping cook communal meals or whatever. Unfortunately, it would make my commute about an hour, so that's a no go, but it sounds nice.
