Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: question about waiting list

[Rebecca Reid (rreid]

I have to say I have no idea why our waiting list worked so well or where 
they came from.  Maybe part of it is that we were early, and there weren't a 
lot of choices for people wanting to get into cohousing.  Our list has 
definitely shrunk and become less reliable in recent years.  But it still 
functions.

Rebecca,

In our parts, your waiting list is well known. People have long asked me why
we don't have a waiting list like that. Do you have any idea why people are
willing to sign up for yours? When I have tried to implement a plan based on
Pioneer Valley, I have had no takers.

All the best,

Jeanne Goodman
