Patty and Rob BOTH speak my mind. Cohousing IS work, it DOES consume
energy, time and money, and sometimes it seems draining and
discouraging, especially when participation is on a downswing. AND at
best the trade off is definitely worth it (I've been with RoseWind for
18 years), and there are those wonderful accomplishments of joint
commitment. I think would-be cohousers should take both posts to heart.
Craig points out the importance of organizing to make the best use of available skills and energy, inviting assistance, etc. And that too takes time and energy, to organize. Once you slip down to where the organizer-initiator types are swamped with basic community-subsistence work, it's hard to get back on top.
