In response to Thomas Lofft's question about use of cohousing, we at Fair Oaks EcoHousing have chosen to call ourselves EcoHousing, but we say we are also cohousing. On the home page of our website (www.FairOaksEcoHousing.org), we explain both EcoHousing and Cohousing. When we say EcoHousing, people think it's green and good for the environment. When we say cohousing to someone unfamiliar with the term, they tend to think of commune or cohabitation, and I feel it can be confusing at first impression. We think EcoHousing is working well for us. We were very small when we started, and we thought it was a better way to go. People have responded positively to the name. By the way, we are looking for a few more members so we can get construction started this summer. Please check us out!

Positive or less so? This query is sincerely looking for information and feedback. Do you use the word 'cohousing' in your community identity for marketing and promotion? Does it give you positive endorsements and marketing response, or does it create confusion or apprehension in your target market? Has your community debated this question? How did you come to a decision? Thanks for your feedback.?Tom Lofft?Liberty Village, MD?
