When >someone asked for value statements I thought to myself, 'I thought >cohousing groups weren't supposed to have values!'. Just yesterday I mediated a values based conflict in my community. >From my observations of disputes in my own group, the most passionate thing people argue from is their values. Even if a group doesn't decide to hold any common values, the minimum you should do is identify what values people hold. It will give you enormous insight in resolving conflicts. Since I have previously posted long and laboriously on values I will simply restate: I think any housing group which wants to be a "community" has to acknowledge some form of shared group values.
