My point (once again) is not problems with community but with the allusions
to "communes" and buzz words that recall that. People who would be very
interested in living in cohousing can be turned away before they get in the
door when the initial presentation evokes the spirit of "communes".

However unintentional or well meant, it still turns away good people. You
can shout slogans from the housetops but if they don't ring the right bells,
they won't be helpful.
