I feel like it wouldn&#x27;t work as well once you consider the politics that goes into shared resources. What does the cook cook? Why should a person who doesn&#x27;t eat there pay for the cook?<p>In many apartment buildings in southeast asia (especially those that cater to foreigners&#x2F;wealthy immigrants) there&#x27;ll frequently be a shop and a small restaurant at the first level that mostly caters to the people who live in the building. No reason we couldn&#x27;t have something like that here, though admittedly the cost of running both those types of services are probably pretty high given regulations. Expect a lot of politicking at the condo boards though.
