Weather's not nearly the problem here in the Denver area, except occasional days. Other parts of the country it may also not be a problem, but I would agree that proximity would be VERY desirable in the more wintery areas. But we're not in our community yet, so I can't give specific info on our experiences yet. Is it not a viable option to center EcoVillage's common house somewhere in the middle of the development? ~___~ (0 0) +-----------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo---------------------------------+ | Debbie Behrens debbeh [at] auto-trol.com (303)252-2215 | | Highline Crossing CoHousing (303)457-4184 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
