>From my reading and conversations with Chuck Durrett  (I'm taking the
"Getting it built" workshop this weekend) here's the list I can come up
with.  I expect I missed quite a few.

Doyle Street - Emeryville, CA
Southside Park - Saacramento, CA
N Street CoHousing  - Davis, CA
Marsh Commens - Arcata, CA
Monterey CoHousing - Minneapolis, MN

There are others listed as "low-income housing", but I don't know how
many of them are in an urban setting.  There are  also quite a few listed
that I have absolutely no idea whether or not they aree in an urban
setting.  Can anyone expand upon this list?

Personally, I am drawn towards a retrofit project in downtown Austin.  I
don't know if I can  get together with the  right people to make it
happen, but I am interested.
