Jim, can you tell us more about your experiences?  Since 25 years is 
longer than cohousing has been in America, I assume some of it was with 
other kinds of communities or maybe on single households or....?

Do you have any advice for how cohousers can retrofit community into 
existing neighborhoods and structures?
