The bricks and sticks are important as long as they are related to a deeper
value, building economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable
communities. Intelligent investment in our personal spaces is a very
fundamental way of putting our money (time and thought) where our mouth is.
Along with our hearts and feet.

The bricks and sticks are one of the unique and defining characteristics of
cohousing.
