As a recent returnee to the cohousing list, let me introduce myself. My name is Albert Harum-Alvarez, and my family and friends have been working for a few years on the idea of building a cohousing-style neighborhood in Miami. We believe we'll be purchasing land soon, and so I wanted to announce our intentions to the list in case there are any folks interested in speaking with us. We currently have three households for a narrow street of as few as six homes. The site would be classified as urban infill where the next door neighbors include a church, a pizza joint, apartments, some Coconut Grove-style townhouses and single family homes. Within a few blocks are: a tailor, bike shop, and various professional offices, the busway which connects to Miami's Metrorail an elementary school a neighborhood park Within a mile are: a transit hub the regional mall four grocery stores, including two selling organic produce Biscayne Bay and Matheson Hammock are three miles to the east Our goal is to create a narrow lane of old Florida-style homes: wide wraparound porches, windows oriented toward the sea breeze, mangoes, avocadoes and live oaks shading a chickee (a Seminole thatched roof structure) where we could share barbecue and lemonade. If you are interested in cohousing in South Florida, don't forget Synergy Cohousing in Delray Beach. They are well on their way, farther along than we are, and are seeking members. Albert
