Dr. Bill Thomas, a Harvard Medical School alumnus, author, and nationally recognized innovator who has created several alternative housing options for older adults, developed his his new intergenerational housing concept, Eldershire, It sounds a lot like cohousing. He will be speaking in Minneapolis and visiting Monterey cohousing next week. Does anyone know enough about "Eldershire" to compare it to cohousing? I suspect it is more "developer-led" than cohousing developments tend to be. I wonder about the implications for the nature of the community. Note that his ideas are specifically intergenerational but "senior rich" which I guess is unlike senior cohousing and maybe more like traditional cohousing (which is my preference).
