The problem is common work/school/etc. schedules mean that the bulk of the utilization is at the same time; there isn't a lot to be gained by sharing unless you are in a quasi-executive commune, where a shared kitchen (and other living space) is already a norm.

If you want more people to choose to live in communes, good luck.

Missed the edit window, but that was intended to be “quasi-family communes”, not “quasi-executive”; mobile autocorrect is great at turning typos into radically different words.
