I like it that you include your renters as justified voters. I've always rented myself, frankly, I don't want the responsibility of owning a home, but that doesn't mean I'm second class, just different preferences. Actually, now I'm very ready to move to co-housing, and have been wondering how I'm going to continue to apply my theory of living simple, no mortgage theory to co-housing who seems to only accept buyers. So good for you!!! Ananda On 1/11/08, Rob Sandelin <floriferous [at] msn.com> wrote: > > PLEASE, TRIM YOUR TAILS. That is, minimize quoted material > on replies.
