I completely agree. I think that the effective way to start this would be to get a high-rise to buy into the idea. If you have 10 floors of apartments all in the same building, you have some good time efficiency and can start sharing resources - i.e., a big bin to throw bags of cat crap in that can be trundled down the hall from apartment to apartment.

I like your angle on how it'd help the elderly. It might be an interesting way to put together a 'senior living' neighborhood in conjunction with a developer. You could contract with the developer that your labor force would handle the big lifting duties; on the buy side, the rent would be marginally higher (and spread out over the development). Perhaps that already exists though.
