Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: A Conversation on the Economic Crisis: How To Do It?

[Donna Freiermuth (editor]

Craig, I don't think the conversation would focus on creating new 
cohousing.
Instead, I wonder if it would be helpful to imagine the broadest scope 
and then decide if it's too broad to approach in one conversation.

I'm being presumptuous but I imagine that those feeling the most 
uncertainty right now include • people trying to sell units in any kind 
of cohousing (from brand new to existing retrofits) and that includes 
foreclosures; • forming groups at every stage, as well as • cohousing 
professionals.

Another tack during this planning stage could be to invite those 
interested to pose questions they would like the panel to address. That 
could define the scope as well.
