Hi Joani, I think your idea is great! I'm one of those people who don't have the resources to buy a unit. I would love to make it more affordable to co-buy a house with someone of co-housing mentality. How would I make that possilbe? Your're right I think there should be a section for advertising such opportunities. Peace, Ananda On 1/10/08, Joani Blank <joani [at] swansway.com> wrote: > > PLEASE, TRIM YOUR TAILS.
