Re Guest Rooms: We didn't build them (rehab situation) but I know that members appreciate having them a lot! << - Are they a useful addition to the CH? Yes, for us As someone said, I suspect use is uneven, but we don't keep track. Use is free to family and friends of members, we ask for a donation for the occasional others who come via the cohousing network. We have a policy, I don't remember details, including that the hosts should be present. Some of us use them ourselves to make room for our visiting family members. One member said she loved having guests but not on top of her. For us, they add to the community. A friend of mine has contributed a lot of expertise when he was here. Sometimes they get used a lot, sometimes not - lots of variation. If there are conflicts (very rare) we make adjustments, and people use spare rooms in members' homes, (there are a few possibilities). << - What ratio of guest rooms to size of community? One medium (double bed) and one small (single bed) room, for 15 households. - Do they have other uses? >> We've used one as a massage room for a while, and sometimes they serve as storage during a rehab project. Judy Baxter, Monterey Cohousing Community,(MoCoCo) Twin Cities Area, Mpls.,MN -- e-mail: baxter [at] epivax.epi.umn.edu (usually checked on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) 15 homes - 7 new townhomes plus 8 coop apartments in a rehab Georgian building (built as a retirement home in 1924 -) which also serves as our Common House ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Two 3 BR townhomes for sale - see our web page ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm probably downsizing in the next ? 6mo? to a smaller coop apartment and selling my 3 BR coop apartment {This is *not* definite}, but looks pretty probable to me. Opportunity! **ok - why uncertainty? depends on two single parent households who are planning to combine and leave a smaller place for me, but as you may know, blending families is complex, so nothing is certain** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Voice Mail for Monterey Cohousing - 612-930-7554 web page: http://www.jimn.org/mococo/
