I agree with Kevin that the N Street community certainly IS cohousing, even though it is not the model followed by most of the American cohousing groups so far. It's important to keep using a variety of models when talking about cohousing to the world at large, lest potential cohousers get the message that only people who can afford $200,000 individually owned houses can participate. As a member of a group that has spent several years just trying to find (a) a pleasant town with zoning that would allow coho, and (b) a big piece of land that we can afford, I think that avoiding the whole development process -- huge investment of capital, zoning approval, lengthy period of construction -- would be wonderful. And there's lots of in-town real estate that's underutilized, not to mention neighborhoods that are in need of committed residents. If only I didn't have my heart set on those acres of apple orchards and vegetable gardens ... Lynne Farnum Rose Tree Cohousing
