I have mixed feelings about this suggestion. On one hand, I have enjoyed the occasional mention of information drawn from the experiences of non-cohousing intentional communities. I certainly appreciate knowing about publications like the Directory of Intentional Communities (pardon me if I don't have the name right). On the other hand, I was drawn very strongly to the idea of cohousing precisely for its subtle difference from what I think of as traditional intentional communities. To me cohousing is about agreeing to cooperate with others without necessarily sharing any values beyond tolerance of each other and willingness to work together to build better housing. I think a lot of good things can flow from that simple goal (and that delights me). I'm not comfortable to start with too many specific ideological or spiritual principles as my reasons for getting involved in a cohousing group. Bottom line for me is, let there be a thriving listserv specifically for intentional community discussions of all types, keep this one specifically for cohousing, and let there be much fertile interchange of ideas between the two. BTW, I applaud the recent turn postings have taken regarding the various arguments on the list. Bruce Koller Oakland CoHousing Group bkoller [at] viking.dvc.edu
