Well, I think I explained why before, but let me try again.
If you were to do that, you couldn't ever use that character until OB1 was logged in with his town on. Also, in case you are thinking "well, a copy of that town would be on both our systems", that just can't work... The towns would desynch every time you played it offline, or he did, and boom, when you link back up they are two seperate towns. Otherwise, essentially you'd have to play only when he's online... Same thing...
Nintendo is likely to not add such a feature because they don't see anyone enjoying it... Of course, visiting would still be fine.
And again, Nintendo might just solve this with either a persistant world server (you'd have to pay a fee there) or just letting us download software to set up our own PCs as persistant world servers (that's the one solution that'll actually let you guys do that, it'd be awesome).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
