I would  add a couple to the list of axioms.

1. Community is created to enhance relationships. This is the point of
cohousing. If your development process is damaging your relationship then
you are out of balance with your purpose.

2. Cohousers become real estate developers in order to create a place to
live in community.

3. Real estate development often requires processes that run counter to
relationship building.

4. In the balance between real estate development and relationship building,
in the long run, relationship building will have a greater impact on your
life together later.

5. Almost always, relationship building falls to the wayside  in deference
to real estate development issues because of money concerns.

6. People who are project managers and also community members run a huge
risk of having their relationships damaged with other community members.
