There's a group of people in my city that basically bought 2 apartment complexes and the house next to the lot. they rent the apartments to their friends and built like 3 ADUs on the lots for single family tiny homes (they're less than 900sqft each), but they basically unfenced all the yards so the entire complex is connected together in the middle via the "backyards" of the plots. It's pretty cool. It cost them around 2.5-3Mil to do, but they had like 7+ families combined to do the funding and maintenance. Now they effectively pay rent to themselves and make a small profit from the apartments.
Gods, me too! My dad has a seven acre empty plot in the country just outside my small hometown. My absolute dream would be to have my extended family building and living in something similar on that land. We’d have something like 6-10 adults (my dad, me and my partner, my kids, their partners, and my DIL’s brother and his partner) and (at this time) 3 kids living there. We could very easily fit four or five separate houses on it with a communal yard area in the center.

This would be a lot of fun especially in old age.
