These are NOT MY numbers, the message was forwarded from another list.
As my original message which can be read from the archives at:

Green Housing Can Cost Less to Build
http://csf.Colorado.EDU/cohousing/2000/msg01404.html

stated:

The info was only being passed on by me. It was posted to the
urban-ecology list by gmoke [at] WORLD.STD.COM who posts frequently to urb-eco
as I recall. Also note the two urls of the organizations referred to in
the message.

BTW I encourage the posting to Cohousing-L of messages and links /
references to information of general interest which is relevant to 
cohousing.  Very brief messages or links in your signature to less
relevant things are ok too.
