Does the consensus process lend itself to sub-communities? For example, if a cohousing community finds itself consistently split into factions on an issue, does it ever happen that the community will divide in a way to let each side have their decision among themselves? What I'm envisioning is a sort of controlled fracture that allows those holding different values to institute those values while still maintaining the overarching cohesion of the community as a whole.
