The Cottage Project

This is really something to get excited about. It's a shame this hasn't caught on. Municipalities haven't made live-work projects easy. In the Cottage Square project, 19 single family homes are set on a single 2 acre plot. Less really is more, and in a walking community like Ocean Springs this kind of initiative goes a long way to revive economically challenged areas. Would love to see some developer incentives in place to spark some interest in this form of affordable housing in South Carolina.
