Sharon, I don't think "lack of deep committment" is good or bad in a general way. Obviously, those who wish for it might feel unsatisfied when it's not there, so for them it's a problem. I was responding to a person who I thought was expressing dissatisfaction with the abscense of such committment, so I was attempting to point out that if such a committment isn't made in an age-restricted community the result might end up being similar. IMO looking into people's expectations and clarifying a community's attitude around what level of committment is expected could save trouble in the future. As I see it, it doesn't have anything to do with cohousing being a "shrink shop" (or not).
