Cohousing-L Mailing List: Cohousing for the Mainstream

[Dan Suchman (71756.2661]

Thank you, Nitsan Vardi, for providing a Danish perspective on the concept of
cohousing for the mainstream.  I do not know whether mine was among the
cohousing-l posts to which you intended to respond.  However, I do want to make
clear that I am not a cohousing "evangelist".  I do not advocate cohousing as
the way that all, or even a majority, of Americans "should" [wince] live.  I
simply see cohousing as having something valuable to offer and I would like to
make it AVAILABLE as an OPTION to as many people as possible.  As I've said
before, I would like to see cohousing become a mainstream housing alternative,
rather than "alternative housing".  Has that yet happened in Denmark?  How do
you feel about this?
