Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Need some data - Pam in Fresno

[Craig Ragland (craigragland]

Hi Pam (did you mean to cc:-Coho-L? - if not, why don't you reply off-list),

I do not have any actual data on that - maybe one of the academics on Coho-L
does?

I have opinions and anecdotal observations, but others have visited a lot
more communities than I have to date.

Raines Cohen and Joani Blank immediately come to mind
