>From Cobb Hill Co-Housing in Vermont: We are revisiting our ideas about criteria for membership and for choosing between prospective buyers of available homes. We expect to revisit this topic periodically, and at present would love to hear from other communities. What have you found to be useful and less than useful in sorting through the needs of your community, the potential new members etc.? Has this changed over time? Our houses are on a hillside, in Vermont winters (read lots of snow and ice) and on a farm (read lots of work to do.). Plus we heat all the homes with a single wood fired boiler (read lots of firewood to move). We are realizing that this location and farm require a higher degree of physical work than we initially recognized. We are also working through desires for more cultural and racial diversity than we currently have in our little community, and that, of course, is enriched by long and deep conversation and work on internalized racism, classism and so forth. Your thoughts and current practice would be helpful. You can email me directly or answer to the listserve. Susan Sweitzer ssweitzer [at] sustainer.org
