Yes, there are several of us that would need elevators to start with. But I'm all for individual homes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am on board with the domes, though not with all of the wallpaper choices.

msbelle, you made the move possible.
Me & my neighbors joke about putting in a single ramp for the whole block, one elevator & knocking in a doorway between houses if it comes to that.

I know we are never doing this and yet my mind devotes a lot of time actually thinking about it. The thing with individual homes is getting land. Many people seem to prefer to be in a somewhat urban environ, lots of talk of walkability or closeness to grocery, and access to culture.
getting plots of land to build multiple dwellings means getting outside of those areas.
Apartment buildings would have ground floor units.
Another thought which I actually think would be awesome is a hotel. It would require reno create multi bedroom units and living areas, but they usually have elevators and also common spaces we could make into things like community libraries and theaters.

Apartment buildings would have to be much more sound dampening than any I have previously lived in.

Like this cutie patootie old Motor Lodge with space to build additional cabins, plus - parking lot space that units could be enlarged onto.

My best bet is msbelle moving into my neighborhood.
The thing about this decadal I really like is it is also colliding with my worst emotional slump in probably 15 years, for reasons I fully understand & blahblahblah, but it doesn't fix it. Crawling out by my fingernails & faking it, but yeah.

your best bet is a good bet. We can emotional slump together.

I agree that a cluster of homes and/or apartments is the way to go.
My second favorite lottery fantasy is to buy one of those cute 1920s -era apartment sets that area group single floor buildings around a common garden area. Eldergoth Retirement Community!
The absolute favorite lottery fantasy is owning the wildly cliche gothic manor house of my dreams, complete with staff, secret passages, and a creepy looking cottage for the ornamental hermit to live in.
(The ornamental hermit is not Mr. Loomy.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My lottery win fantasy is a campground with cabins and RV hookups with plenty of room for tiny-to-medium houses to act as a permanent F2F and/or Buffista retirement village. Only problem is I keep picturing 45-60 minutes drive from Minneapolis/St. Paul and I know that would not be the optimal climate for the group.
