The ongoing challenge of cohousing is convincing town planning boards and neighborhood associations that a cohousing community is not a commune. It is more a cooperatively managed condominium than naked dancers in the woods living on rice and fruit. But in Utah the challenge is even greater. The disclaimer on the Utah Valley Commons Cohousing home page is: We are not survivalists. The full statement is: The Utah Valley Commons has no political or religious affiliation. We are not "survivalists," nor do we attempt to impose lifestyle restrictions (e.g., what kind of food you can eat) on our members. We respect each other's privacy. The UVCC is committed to providing a safe, healthy, and sustainable community for individuals and families. Since they were able to get approval from the town planning board for straw bale construction and to cluster the houses instead of spacing each house in the center of several acres, I think they will be able to meet the survivalist challenge. The survivalists are likely to disown them because they are probably not comfortable with the temporal image of straw bale. While it is a very strong and environmentally sound building material, it does have the image of something not quite up to guns and combat.
