Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: affordable cohousing

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Grace --

Thanks for creating this survey!  I await the results.

A couple of things:

One question you ask for % AMI w/ 80, 60 and something else plus a  
blank to put in an answer.  I put my answer in the blank line but the  
survey wouldn't complete w/out me checking a box which I did just to  
finish the survey.  But just so you know ... it's 70%.

Another question you asked was on participation by "low income" people  
in the community.  Our units were work force or affordable at 70% AMI  
which was not an option in the check boxes.  No low income which has a  
whole different set of rules.   How do I answer that?  I just checked  
that everyone participates in everything they want to except renters  
cannot block a financial decision.

Good luck on your talk!  And again I do look forward to the results!

Thanks, Grace!!
