I live at Westwood Cohousing in Asheville, NC. We recently worked together as a community to consider a series of policies regarding the appearance/maintenance of our front porches and other areas of our community visible to all (parking lot, back yards, side yards, etc). There seems to be a sense that coming up with some "guidelines or standards" that will help to facilitate "accountability" is a good thing. It has been expressed that trying to resolve conflict without agreed upon standards puts the onus on the person who has the concern rather than the individual who may be creating a problem for others. However there are varying opinions about how broad and/or specific the guidelines or standards should be. Many people have put a great deal of time and energy into trying to help our community in this area of accountability. It is a difficult thing to come to agreement due to many differences among us. Many strong feelings come up around this one. Plus, finding language that is clear and flexible is not easy. Are there any co-housing communities out there that have language suggestions to offer? Are there any co-housing communities that struggle with the tension around how things look and the different standards held by members? How have other communities resolved issues related to the physical appearance of common areas and areas visible to all? Thanks for your responses! Evan Richardson
