Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: Affordable Foray

[Casey Morrigan (cjmorr]

I was thinking one reason affordability was such a hot topic was that,
especially in California, the market is such that homeownership is tough to
achieve.

It's interesting that someone from the LA area would think that cohousing
could become trendy - because there's not much cohousing there.  Maybe in
the future.  Anyway, bring it on - I'd love to see it become a trend and
popular. Maybe - it would get cheaper!  Volume pricing.

I'd say our community does have some characteristics of a clique (we do know
each other better than we know our other neighbors and we do spend time with
each other) and some open boundaries that are not clique-like (reaching out
to our nearby neighbors, inclusive meals, social events open to many, open
and unclique-like attitudes).
