I don't think you really mean that. Personally *I'm* all in favor of co-opting mainstream business, not being co-opted by them. If you want to spread the movement farther and faster, then you need to change the way mainstream business works, not have it change the way *you* work. > It is > the cohousing movements job to make the definition clear of what > cohousing is and is not and then spread that word so that "fake" > cohousing, e.g. a typical condo labeled cohousing, doesn't happen. Okay, but I don't want to make that job any harder than it needs to be. That means identifying ads like the Shasta one immediately, before too many people start to believe that *that* is cohousing. By the way, I have nothing against what the Shasta developers are doing. (At least, I have no reason to believe they are doing anything I disapprove of). I *do* have issues with them advertising on the net and especially in this mailing list. (More on that later). - Pablo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pablo Halpern (508) 435-5274 phalpern [at] world.std.com New View Neighborhood Development, Acton, MA ------------------------------------------------------------------------
