Yes, Bob, you are correct in citing the increased difficulties forming and
building cohousing communities face in the midst of this very serious
economic recession. I have talked to groups that cannot get credit for land
purchase and prospective members who cannot sell their homes so they can
join a newly forming cohousing community. There are all kinds of
ramifications for the cohousing movement, as well as many Americans.
COHO/US has a small group brainstorming about what we can do to promote
cohousing in the face of this disastrous national economic climate,
including communicating with the new Obama Administration that takes office
today. We welcome ideas from cohousers across the country. David

This is the first linked article in the first issue of "Cohousing Now!". It has some interesting ideas about how cohousing groups can deal with the recession. However, I think the biggest issue with the recession and cohousing is not with groups that are up and running, but rather with forming groups. A lot of forming groups are having a real hard time recruiting members, and I fear some of them might fold. What do others think about the ideas that David Entin presented in this article?
