Re: favourite rule of thumb

Guiding principles:

a) members have the right to have pets, relationships, guns, addictions,
... (anything that is legal within the law of the land)

b) members should be responsible for their pets, relationships, guns,
addictions, ....

c) people should be free to not be affected by other's pets, relationships,
guns, addictions, ....

Implementation discoveries:

It is likely that the pet owner, cigar smoker, gun carrier, polyamorist etc.
will be experienced in helping define the implementation of "c". These
people will be less defensive when "a" has been reiterated. The beauty of
cohousing is the scope to discuss the above and establish a culture in which
the implementation becomes discussable. Try to do this in an established
neighbourhood!
