Mr Tyson -- Do not be confused. Cohousing is an exciting and rewarding alternative to the impersonality, selfishness, and me-first, profit-first philosophies that plague our modern social and economic lives. But cohousing communities do not happen by good intentions alone. They happen in a context of land use regulation, finance, construction and real estate law, and multi-disciplinary interaction of the modern American economy. Most efforts at promoting intentional community do not succeed. Those that do succeed are the ones that learn how to do business.

It is the miracle of modern market capitalism that, when things go well, everybody gets (most of) what s/he wants." RPD AIA") --through which, ironically, if unintentionally, my point is underscored, and upon which, I rest my case. The very elements upon which original capitalism once stood value given for value received, craftsmanship/art, putting the clients' interests first, etc.) are what hath been shorn therefrom, giving us a "miracle" of pseudo-intellectual bs that pulls the wool over its victim's eyes. "Professionalism" my rosy-red.
