I am investigating the feasibility of creating a cohousing community in Mexico. Preliminary discussions I have had with Americans living in Oaxaca in southern Mexico provided the following information: -building cost of about $50.00 per square foot ($50,000 for the average home) -altitude of 5200 feet -over 300 sunny days per year -adequate wind resources for windpower -temperate climate (50 to 90 degrees year-round) -adequate rainfall in well chosen locations -inexpensive labor - construction, home maintenance, personal care -fertile agricultural land There are other opportunities in other parts of Mexico. I am considering organizing a cohousing project that will house 30 families and have the following characteristics: -intergenerational -mixed income -universal design -energy independent -extended season agriculture -guaranteed hands-on personal care services when needed -affordable, quality healthcare I'd like to hear from people who are willing to commit to this project.
