I would have to agree with this. If your group is REALLY good at communicating about difficult stuff (and in our culture, money is about the most difficult) and you all are committed to doing the hard work and reaping the rewards of such open communication, go for it. If not, you may end up with a "bonus" of spoken and unspoken hard feelings and resentments that may or may not surface, but can hang on for a long time, clouding the possibilities for strong and honest relationships between you. I don't always advise avoiding things just because they're difficult, but you might want to consider that option. Building cohousing is hard enough as it is.
